Title Grashopper fauna of a Sphagnum-paludiculture site (Hankhauser Moor)
Description

Since 2011 we are conducting several projects on the cultivation of peatmoss in the Hankhauser Moor, close to Rastede (e.g. MOOSWEIT, OptiMOOS, MOOSland). To date it is unknown if this site is also an attractive habitat for grasshoppers. The candidate will perform a grashopper monitoring and additional investigations and can also use audio recordings.
