Effects of fire frequency on composition of grasshopper assemblages

Sweep samples were taken for grasshoppers (Acrididae) at two sites for each of the 12 Konza Prairie LTER treatments (3 treatments x 2 soils x 2 grazing treatment x 2 replicate sites) in June, July and August. At each site on each occasion, 10 sets of 20 sweeps (200 sweeps total) were taken. Stored data include for each site on each occasion: total number of each species (all instars combined) collected and total number for each instar for each species (200 sweeps combined).
