Welch et al. compared their results of this study to a similar conducted in 1970. The current study found a greater density of grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in lightly grazed pastures compared to 1970, while the heavily grazed pastures showed no differences between the years. This study suggests that grasshopper population changes over time could be impacted by grazing regimes.
