Burrowing adaptations and anthropogenic threats of a dune cricket, Schizodactylus monstrosus (Drury) : A case study from Champa river bank, West Bengal, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2020, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
Schizodactylus monstrosus (Drury) is an Orthoptera belongs to the family Schizodactylidae. Previously although various works has been done on burrowing behavior of the species Schizodactylus monstrosus, our investigation unfolds some new facts about their burrowing behavior. Through this paper we also focus on some anthropogenic threats that causes decline in their population vigorously.
