Grasshopper populations respond similarly to multiple moderate intensity livestock grazing treatments

Livestock grazing frequently affects grasshopper populations, but no prior studies have simultaneously examined a wide range of moderate intensity livestock grazing treatments in the Northern Great Plains. Grasshopper densities varied significantly between years, but five moderate gr...
