Abstract

In this study, we aimed to determine the harmful species of grasshoppers that are distributing in the central region of Mongolia. We conducted our research at 12 different sites across 5 provinces, collecting samples entered 10 sweeps in a site of 100 m2 each were used as individuals. The study successfully determined the species composition of 25 harmful grasshoppers, and it encompassed analyses of their distribution, richness, diversity, evenness and the similarities among grasshoppers communities in 6 phytogeographical regions.
