Cicadetta
''Cicadetta'' is a genus of generally small-bodied annual cicadas widespread across portions of the Palearctic, Indomalayan realm, Indomalayan, and Afrotropical realm, Afrotropical biogeographic realm, realms. In older scientific and taxonomy (biology), taxonomic literature, this genus was popularly referred to as ''Melampsalta''. These cicadas occur in a diverse spectrum of habitats, although most taxa are typically associated with Meadow, weedy meadows and tallgrass prairie ecosystems.

Cicadettana Calliope Calliope P1210806a
''Cicadettana'' is a genus of cicada belonging to the tribe Cicadettini of the family Cicadidae. Until 2017, the included species were classified under the genus ''Cicadetta''. ''Cicadettana'' are small (12–20 mm body length), inconspicuous cicadas with high-pitched songs, and they are commonly found on grass or low shrubs. One species (''ramosi'') is known from Hispaniola, while the rest are found in the United States east of the Rocky Mountain divide. The type species of the genus is ''Cicadettana calliope calliope'', originally designated as ''Cicada calliope'' Walker, 1850. Their closest known relatives are found in Europe, eastern Asia, and Micronesia. Species * ''Cicadettana calliope'' ** ''C. c. calliope'' (Walker, 1850) – east of Rocky Mountain divide, excluding northern/northeastern states ** ''C. c. floridensis'' (Davis, 1920) – southeastern states * ''Cicadettana camerona'' (Davis, 1920) – southern Texas (Cameron County) * ''Cicadettana kansa'' (Davis ...

Grazing
In agriculture, grazing is a method of animal husbandry whereby domestic livestock are allowed outdoors to roam around and consume wild vegetations in order to convert the otherwise indigestible (by human gut) cellulose within grass and other forages into meat, milk, wool and other animal products, often on land unsuitable for arable farming. Farmers may employ many different strategies of grazing for optimum production: grazing may be continuous, seasonal, or rotational within a grazing period. Longer rotations are found in ley farming, alternating arable and fodder crops; in rest rotation, deferred rotation, and mob grazing, giving grasses a longer time to recover or leaving land fallow. Patch-burn sets up a rotation of fresh grass after burning with two years of rest. Conservation grazing proposes to use grazing animals to improve the biodiversity of a site, but studies show that the greatest benefit to biodiversity comes from removing grazing animals from the landscape. ...

Endemic
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Least Concern
A least-concern species is a species that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as evaluated as not being a focus of species conservation because the specific species is still plentiful in the wild. They do not qualify as threatened, near threatened, or (before 2001) conservation dependent. Species cannot be assigned the "Least Concern" category unless they have had their population status evaluated. That is, adequate information is needed to make a direct, or indirect, assessment of its risk of extinction based on its distribution or population status. Evaluation Since 2001 the category has had the abbreviation "LC", following the IUCN 2001 Categories & Criteria (version 3.1). Before 2001 "least concern" was a subcategory of the "Lower Risk" category and assigned the code "LR/lc" or lc. Around 20% of least concern taxa (3261 of 15636) in the IUCN database still use the code "LR/lc", which indicates they have not been re-evaluate ...
