What is HopperWiki?
HopperWiki is an early-stage project designed to serve as a global repository of information for all Orthoptera. The project, led by the Global Locust Initiative at Arizona State University, brings together experts from diverse fields to create original content and facilitate access to the wealth of existing resources on the world’s ~30,000 described species of orthopteran insects. In addition to species profiles which are built on the foundational taxonomic database of the Orthoptera Species File, HopperWiki aims to enhance the accessibility of researchers and organizations working on Orthoptera. A key focus is compiling resources that address the complex challenges of sustainably managing locusts and pest grasshoppers, which have significant impacts on human livelihoods and the environment.
