Burrows of the common field-cricket Gryllus campestris Linnaeus, 1758 (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) from Dajti Mountain, Albania
Abstract Considerable studies of the univoltine, common field-cricket Gryllus campestris Linnaeus, 1758, known from sunny oligotrophic grasslands and heathlands of the western Palaearctic, were previously made, but none of them has shown the characteristics of its burrows. This paper presents a neoichnological study based on a group of G. campestris that lives in and around a pasture glade in Dajti Mountain, east of the Tirana District in Albania. It includes direct observations of the burrows in the field and their casts made by means of white Portland cement. Burrows of nymphs of G. campestris were observed to be tubular, sun-facing and have only one, funnel-like entrance, simple termination and no branches. This study is the first one showing morphological features of the burrows and the burrowing activity of the common field-cricket, being a contribution to ichnology of soils. Preservation of the burrows is possible by their filling, for instance by sand during flooding. The burrows do not fit to any existing ichnotaxa.
期刊介绍：
The foremost aim of Ichnos is to promote excellence in ichnologic research. Primary emphases center upon the ethologic and ecologic significance of tracemaking organisms; organism-substrate interrelationships; and the role of biogenic processes in environmental reconstruction, sediment dynamics, sequence or event stratigraphy, biogeochemistry, and sedimentary diagenesis. Each contribution rests upon a firm taxonomic foundation, although papers dealing solely with systematics and nomenclature may have less priority than those dealing with conceptual and interpretive aspects of ichnology. Contributions from biologists and geologists are equally welcome.
The format for Ichnos is designed to accommodate several types of manuscripts, including Research Articles (comprehensive articles dealing with original, fundamental research in ichnology), and Short Communications (short, succinct papers treating certain aspects of the history of ichnology, book reviews, news and notes, or invited comments dealing with current or contentious issues). The large page size and two-column format lend flexibility to the design of tables and illustrations. Thorough but timely reviews and rapid publication of manuscripts are integral parts of the process.
