Simple Summary

This study explores the diversity and distribution of different grasshopper species across the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, a region renowned for its rich diversity. Through the compilation and analysis of grasshopper specimens, the literature, and geographic distribution data, we have created a species database that details the diversity and distribution of 390 species. The research highlights that the Tibetan Plateau’s endemic species are predominantly found in the Bayan Har Mountains and the Hengduan Mountains. We also predict changes in suitable habitats for grasshoppers under future climate scenarios, providing insights for pest management in agricultural landscapes and forests, as well as for biodiversity conservation.

Abstract

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot, with a wide variety of grasshopper species, including several endemic to the region, which play significant roles in both agricultural and forestry ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to analyze the species diversity and distribution pattern of grasshoppers on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. A comprehensive database comprising 390 grasshopper species was established through specimen collection, a literature review, and a geographical distribution data analysis. Diversity analysis showed that the diversity of species under the five vegetation types was relatively average. However, the alpine cold vegetation of Qinghai–Tibet and subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest still showed a relatively high Shannon index and Simpson index. Grasshopper species are mainly concentrated in the eastern and southern parts of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. The richness pattern showed that grasshopper species diversity was particularly high in certain mountain areas, with Bayankala Mountain and Hengduan Mountain being endemic hotspots. The MaxEnt models were used to assess the potential habitats for four dominant genera of grasshoppers under projected climate change scenarios for 2050 and 2070. Altitude was the factor affecting the distribution of Locusta, Chorthippus, and Kingdonella, while precipitation and temperature were the factors affecting the distribution of Leuconemacris. These findings improve our understanding of the distribution patterns of different grasshopper species across various habitat types on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and provide valuable insights for developing targeted ecological protection strategies in response to environmental changes.

1. Introduction

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, renowned as the ‘roof of the world’ and the ‘third pole’ is a highly biodiverse region with significant scientific research value. It also serves as an early warning zone and a sensitive area for global climate change. Issues such as glacier retreat, permafrost degradation, and a sharp decline in biodiversity have become increasingly prominent. These phenomena are warning us that human communities and natural ecosystems may face additional significant risks [1,2,3,4,5]. With a total area of 2,581,300 km2, the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau in China stands among the world’s biodiversity hotspots [6]. Due to the high altitude, diverse climatic conditions, and complex topography, the Qinghai–Tibet plateau provides a diverse range of habitats for insects. Many rare and primitive grasshopper species are exclusively distributed on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [7]. Grasshoppers refer to Orthoptera Acridoidea insects that exhibit rich species diversity worldwide—approximately 8270 species and 1244 subspecies [8]—occupying various niches within nature. They are more sensitive to changes in their habitats and play crucial roles as indicators for fluctuations in natural landscapes or habitats [9]. Currently, studies on grasshoppers within the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau primarily focus on compiling species lists and controlling a few harmful species, while investigations into their diversity and geographical distribution patterns remain scarce.
Grassland is the main ecological type on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, covering over 60% of its total area [10]. Grasshoppers are the typical phytophagous insects that harm grassland, and their diversity and distribution are closely related to the health and sustainable development of the ecosystem [11]. Relevant studies have shown that grasshopper outbreaks are closely related to climatic conditions [12]. Global warming increases the frequency of grasshopper outbreaks, leading to detrimental effects on agricultural production [13,14]. For example, warming oceans bring more cyclones that create more favorable breeding conditions for grasshoppers, leading to a 2020 plague on the East African continent not seen in decades [15]. Agricultural planting zones on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau are mostly located in river valleys, which are the main zones for grasshopper breeding and activities [16]. The maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) was first introduced into the prediction of species distribution area by Steven et al. in 2004 [17]. With its strong prediction ability, MaxEnt is one of the commonly used prediction models for potential geographic distribution [18]. According to the Fifth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the global climate will continue to warm, and, compared with 1986–2005, by 2100, the global climate will increase by 0.3 °C to 4.5 °C [19]. Global warming may lead to changes in the habitat areas of species. In the current context, some researchers have used this model to investigate the potential spatial distribution pattern of grasshoppers in various regions [20,21,22], but no studies have been conducted to predict the suitable grasshopper areas in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau under climate change scenarios based on the MaxEnt model.
The Tibetan Plateau is a biodiversity hotspot of global significance, home to a wealth of grasshopper species. In this study, the species diversity, species richness pattern, and endemic distribution pattern of grasshopper in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau were analyzed by using the information on grasshopper species distribution recorded in specimens and the literature. Then, we extracted two widely distributed genera from the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, i.e., Locusta and Chorthippus, and two endemic genera, i.e., Leuconemacris and Kingdonella, and predicted their current and future suitable habitats (2050, 2070). The aim of our study was as follows: (1) to reveal the species diversity and distribution pattern of grasshoppers on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau; (2) to identify the endemic distribution area of grasshoppers on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau; and (3) to predict the habitat of grasshoppers on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. In addition, to assess the potential impacts of future climate change on this habitat, we conducted an analysis of the biogeographical characteristics of grasshoppers and their interactions with the environment in this region. The analysis above provides a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for developing effective grasshopper management strategies and conserving biodiversity.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Determination of the Research Area

Located in South–Central Asia, the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is the largest plateau in China and the highest plateau in the world. It covers six provinces in southwest China: Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan. Lóczy [23] described the boundary of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, but the extent and specific boundary of the Tibetan Plateau have been the focus of controversy among many scholars [24]. The research area of this study was based on the 2021 Tibetan Plateau Range dataset, the results of the second comprehensive Scientific expedition to the Tibetan Plateau [25], which was downloaded from the Data Center for Resources and Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (http://www.resdc.cn, accessed on 20 August 2024). The clipping function of ArcGIS 10.8 was used to convert the dataset into the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau region within China (Figure 1).

2.2. Data Collection and Organization

The inspected specimen data collected in the field were used for species diversity analysis under different habitat types. The data of species geographic distribution were used to analyze the distribution pattern of abundance and endemic species and to predict the suitable areas (Table 1, Appendix F). The geographical distribution data were partly obtained from global biodiversity information websites (https://www.gbif.org/, accessed on 20 August 2024) and Orthoptera Species File (Version 5.0/5.0) records (http://orthoptera.archive.speciesfile.org/Common/editTaxon/SearchForTaxon.aspx, accessed on 20 August 2024), and partly from specimens stored in scientific research institutions in China. The samples are collected in the field from the Laboratory of Systematics and Molecular Adaptation Evolution of Hebei University, the Museum of Hebei University, and the Northwest Plateau Ecology Research Institute. The species information and geographical distribution information were verified and corrected, and the distribution information containing only the name of the collection site was also included in the geographical distribution database of Acridoidea on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau after calibration. Data on environmental variables for projections of suitable areas are available at 30 arc seconds (1 km2) from the World Climate website (http://www.worldclim.org, accessed on 20 August 2024). The vegetation normalization index was downloaded from the National Data Center for Ecological Sciences (http://www.nesdc.org.cn/, accessed on 20 August 2024) [26], with a resolution of 30 m. Potential evaporation and actual evaporation are downloaded at 30 arc seconds (1 km2) from the CGIAR website (http://www.cgiar.org/, accessed on 20 August 2024).

2.3. Species Diversity Analysis

The iNEXT program package in R 4.2.3 [27] was used to construct rarefaction curves under different habitat types, aiming to assess the adequacy of specimen collection. Vegetation type data were obtained from the Data Center for Resources and Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (http://www.resdc.cn, accessed on 20 August 2024). According to the Vegetation Regionalization System of China, the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau was categorized into six habitat types: warm temperate evergreen broad-leaved forest, subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, tropical monsoon rainforest area, temperate grassland area, temperate desert area, and alpine vegetation area of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [28]. The following diversity indices were selected for analysis using Past 4.1.3 software: Shannon–Wiener Index (H), Pielou Evenness Index (J), Margalef Richness Index (R), Simpson Index (D), and Berger–Parker Dominance Index (W). The Shannon Index is commonly employed to measure species diversity within an ecosystem by considering both species richness and evenness. The Pielou Evenness Index is a variant of the Shannon Index that quantifies the uniformity degree of species in a community. The Margalef Richness Index solely considers species count as a measure of species richness in a community. Like the Shannon Index, which measures species diversity within ecosystems, Simpson’s Diversity Index places greater emphasis on the abundance of common species. Lastly, the Berger–Parker Dominance Index measures the relative importance of the most dominant species in a community [29].

2.4. Analysis of Species Richness and Endemic Distribution Pattern

The entire Qinghai–Tibet Plateau region was divided into 0.5° × 0.5° grid geographic operational units. Following the principle of retaining only one piece of geographic distribution information for each species within a unit, the geographic distribution data in the database were manually sorted and screened. By using the ArcGIS 10.8 geographic operating system, we acquired patterns of species richness and endemic distribution for grasshoppers to determine their endemic distribution center on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Two methods were used to identify endemic distribution areas at a 1° × 1° grid resolution: the unweighted average method and the endemic reductive analysis method. When using the unweighted mean group method to identify these areas based on data from endemic geographical records, a data matrix was established with geographic operational units as columns and species as rows. A value of “1” indicated presence while “0” indicated absence of a particular species in each unit. This matrix was then imported into Past 4.1.3 for cluster analysis [30] using the Jaccard similarity coefficient [31,32], with Bootstrap resampled 1000 times for testing purposes. According to Morrone’s definition [33] of an endemic distribution area, regions containing two or more identical endemic species in consecutive branches were considered. Only those with Bootstrap values greater than 60 were identified as endemic distribution areas.
To prepare a matrix for endemic reduction analysis, we selected a geographical operating unit with no species distribution to serve as an outgroup and named it “A0”. The characteristic reduction analysis was carried out in TNT1.1 software. Use new technical algorithms that have significant advantages in handling complex and large amounts of data [34]. The number of maximum trees was set to 1000, initial addseqs was set to 3, and the rest of the parameters were set to default. The optimal tree was searched using sectorial search and tree fusing tools. All generated parsimony trees were combined into a strict consensus tree. Branches with a bootstrap value of 50 or greater and that are geographically contiguous were selected as candidate branches for endemic distribution areas [35]. When two or more identical endemic species are present within these branches, the corresponding units are identified as endemic distribution areas.

2.5. Prediction of Suitable Areas

The geographical distribution data of the most widely distributed and most harmful grasshopper Genera Locusta and Chorthippus, as well as the endemic grasshopper genera Leuconemacris and Kingdonella, were extracted from the previously established geographical distribution database of grasshoppers on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. To reduce the distribution superposition and sampling bias, the overlapping data were discarded, and the systematic sampling method was applied to random sampling of species distribution information [36]. The environmental variables were selected as modern bioclimate factors, wind speed, solar radiation, actual evaporation, potential evaporation, vegetation normalization index, and altitude. Bioclimatic factors in the future period reduce the uncertainty between models by taking the mean value of MIROC-ESM and CCSM4 models [37]. Referring to previous studies, this paper selected bioclimatic factors under the scenario with a representative concentration path of 8.5 [38].
The software ENMTools v.1.3 was used to perform a Pearson correlation test to assess collinearity among all environmental variables [39]. When the correlation between two or more variables exceeded 0.85 (|r| > 0.85) [40,41,42], environmental factors with low contribution rates were eliminated using the Jackknife method. Relevant environmental variables with a cumulative contribution rate of 90% were then considered as the final set of environmental variables [43].
The selected species distribution data and modern environmental variable data were imported into MaxEnt version 3.4.3 software. Seventy-five percent of the distribution data were used as the training set, and 25% were used as the test set to construct the MaxEnt model for predicting species distributions. To prevent overfitting of the model, the combination of linear, quadratic, and hinge function feature types is selected [44,45,46]. The same parameter Settings were used to predict grasshopper habitats in 2050 and 2070, respectively. The prediction results were reclassified by ArcGIS 10.8, and the suitable areas were divided into four categories according to the probability range of species existence: non-suitable areas (0–0.2), low suitable areas (0.2–0.4), medium suitable areas (0.4–0.6), and high suitable areas (0.6–1) [2].

3. Results

3.1. Analysis of Species Composition

In this study, we compiled a species list of Acridoidea in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau by consulting specimen records, records from the literature, and database records. The list includes 390 species from 121 genera and 4 families (see Appendix F). A total of 10,255 grasshopper specimens belonging to 4 families, 71 genera, and 168 species were included for the analysis to reveal the diversity structure of grasshopper communities in the region (see Appendix A).
The findings indicated that Acrididae accounted for a significant proportion (91.54%) of grasshoppers, highlighting its dominant position within the grasshopper community on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (Table 2). In terms of genus hierarchy, Chorthippus (Acrididae) emerged as an extremely dominant genus while Indopodisma (Acrididae), Kingdonella (Acrididae), and Aeropus (Acrididae) were identified as common genera. No specific dominant species were observed. Instead, there was a substantial presence of both common and rare species. This suggests high species diversity. It also indicates a relatively even distribution within the grasshopper community on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Common species such as Indopodisma kingdoni (Acrididae), Kingdonella bicollina (Acrididae), and Locusta migratoria migratorioides (Acrididae) played crucial ecological roles within this community on the Tibetan Plateau, whereas rare species like Catantops pinguis (Acrididae), Promesosternus vittatus (Acrididae), and Assamacris curticerca (Acrididae) added complexity to enhance overall diversity within grasshopper communities on this plateau (Table 2).

3.2. Analysis of Species Diversity in Different Habitat Types

The results of the species sampling adequacy test under different habitat types indicated that samples from all habitat types except for the warm temperate evergreen broad-leaved forest were deemed adequate (Figure 2). Therefore, the warm temperate evergreen broad-leaved forest habitat type was excluded, and the species diversity of grasshoppers in the remaining five habitat types was subsequently analyzed.
The diversity analysis results showed that the species and individual number were the most in the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest and the alpine vegetation area of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, while the species and individual number were the least in the temperate desert area (Figure 3a,b). The species richness index of subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests was the highest (Figure 3c). The evenness index was the highest in temperate grassland areas, and the distribution of grasshopper species in this habitat was relatively well distributed, with no obvious dominant species (Figure 3f). The Shannon Index and the Simpson Index were the highest in the alpine vegetation area of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (Figure 3d,e). The Shannon Index considered species richness and evenness, and the Simpson Index considered species richness and relative abundance, indicating that the overall grasshopper diversity in this region was high. In summary, the alpine vegetation area and the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau show significantly high species diversity. In contrast, temperate desert areas have the lowest species diversity. The spatial distribution of grasshopper species was the most uniform in temperate grassland areas.

3.3. Distribution Pattern Analysis

Based on the species distribution data of Acridoidea on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, a species distribution database of Acridoidea on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau was constructed (see Appendix A for details). A total of 1540 distribution records of 390 species of 4 families were recorded, including 661 distribution records of 227 endemic species on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. We constructed the species richness pattern of Acidoidea on a 0.5° grid scale. The distribution of grasshopper species is mainly concentrated in the eastern and southern parts of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (94–104° E, 26–34° N), with the highest species richness in the eastern part of Qinghai Province, the Hengduan Mountains region, and the Metuo and Chaiyu regions of Tibet (Figure 4).
The distribution information of 227 endemic species and 661 geographic coordinates on the Tibetan Plateau was imported into ArcGIS 10.8 reoperating system to generate the distribution points of endemic species on the Tibetan Plateau, and the number of unique species in each 1° unit was counted to generate the distribution pattern of endemic species on the Tibetan Plateau (Figure 5). Based on the unweighted average method, five endemic areas were identified by consensus: the Himalayas (F8, F9), the Bayan Kala Mountains (D12, D13), the Jinsha River coast (E14, F14), the Western Sichuan (E15, E16), and the Hengduan Mountains (G14, G15) (Figure 6). Based on endemic reduction analysis, three endemic distribution areas were identified by consensus, namely, the Jinsha River coast (E14, F14), Hengduan Mountain Range (G14, G15), and Hengduan Mountain Range region in Western Sichuan (F15, E15, E16). The identified endemic species are shown in the attached table (see Appendix B and Appendix C).

3.4. Prediction of Suitable Areas

In predicting the potential suitable habitats of four genera in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, relevant environmental factors were selected (see Appendix D). The MaxEnt model was employed to predict the potential distribution areas of four genera of Acrididae on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau under three scenarios: current conditions (a), the RCP8.5 scenario for 2050 (b), and the RCP8.5 scenario for 2070 (c) (Figure 7). The AUC values exceeded 0.95, indicating a high degree of reliability in predictive performance. The results demonstrated varying degrees of influence from different environmental factors on the distribution patterns of each grasshopper genera. Notably, elevation was found to significantly impact the distribution of the Locusta. In contrast, annual precipitation, precipitation during the driest month, and seasonal temperature emerged as determinants affecting the distribution pattern of Leuconemacris. The distribution of Kingdonella was influenced by both elevation and wind speed, while that of Chorthippus exhibited a correlation with elevation and actual evaporation.
A comparative analysis between current and future suitable distribution areas revealed that all types within the Locusta displayed varying degrees of increase in suitable habitats alongside a trend toward expansion into lower elevations (see Appendix E). Although suitable regions for Leuconemacris within the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau are limited without an evident outbreak risk, Western Sichuan remains an area warranting close monitoring. The anticipated future suitable range for Kingdonella is expected to align closely with its current habitat preferences primarily located south of Bayanhar Mountains. Furthermore, evidence suggests a slight expansion in overall suitable areas for Chorthippus.

4. Discussion

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the species composition of grasshoppers in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, revealing the diverse structure of grasshopper communities in this region. The findings reveal that, at the family level, Acrididae constitutes 95.84% of the individual grasshoppers. This finding aligns with previous observations regarding the dominant status of Acrididae in studies conducted on grasshopper fauna in Qinghai, China [47]. The large proportion of Acrididae in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau can be attributed to the good adaptability of this family to high altitude, drought, and low temperature [48]. In contrast, Pamphagidae, Pyrgomorphidae, and Dericorythidae account for less than 5% of the species. In this study, Chorthippus was identified as an extremely dominant genus. Chorthippus species showed a good survival advantage in the study area, which was related to its excellent reproductive ability [49,50]. Genera such as Indopodisma, Kingdonella, and Aeropus are recognized as common genera. It must be pointed out here that we did not find dominant species in the Tibetan Plateau, which is different from what other scholars have found in investigating other ecosystem types [51,52,53]. Grasshoppers on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau are mainly composed of many common and rare species. Rare species include species such as Catantops pinguis, Assamacris curticerca, and Promesosternus vittatus.
The formation of species diversity must be the result of the interaction of many environmental factors [54], and factors affecting species diversity vary in different regions [55]. This study reveals differences in the distribution of Acridoidea diversity in different habitats on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. The number of species and individuals in subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests and alpine vegetation on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is the largest, which is related to the complexity of regional habitats and the richness of resources. The subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest area provides diverse microhabitats and abundant food resources, creating favorable conditions for the survival and reproduction of Acridoidea [56,57]. Although the alpine vegetation area of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is restricted by temperature factors, it may promote the maintenance and enrichment of species diversity because it is less subjected to human disturbance [58,59]. Arid, barren, and highly fluctuating temperatures restrict the reproduction and survival of the Acridoidea species, which is the reason why temperate desert areas show the lowest species diversity, with the lowest number of species and individuals among all vegetation types [60].
The results of the distribution pattern indicate that the eastern and southern regions of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, particularly in eastern Qinghai Province, along the Hengduan Mountains, and in the Medog and Zayü areas of Tibet, are identified as hotspots for grasshopper species richness. This finding aligns with previous research on biodiversity within the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [61]. Through unweighted average grouping methods and endemicity analysis, five endemic distribution areas have been identified that may represent significant geographical isolation zones crucial for species formation and divergence. Geographical isolation is recognized as a vital driver for speciation and evolution, especially under complex topographic features and varied climate conditions characteristic of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [62]. The endemic distribution areas located in the Himalayas, Bayanhar Mountain Range, Jinsha Riverbanks, Western Sichuan Province, and along the Hengduan Mountains facilitated both the formation and evolution of endemic species due to prolonged geographical isolation coupled with environmental heterogeneity [63,64].
For most environmental change scenarios, the negative impact on species richness in small hotspot areas is greater than the national average [64,65]. The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau features a complex geological structure and exhibits sensitivity to climate change and human activities. Significant alterations in the fragile ecological balance of this region underscore the urgency of understanding and protecting its ecosystem quality [1]. Grasshoppers, as primary consumers within ecosystems, are widely utilized as biological indicators for studying the effects of global changes on these systems [66]. The MaxEnt model was used to predict potential distribution areas for four genera of grasshoppers in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau region for present conditions, as well as projections for 2050 and 2070. Results indicate that altitude and annual precipitation play critical roles in elucidating the relationship between grasshoppers and environmental factors. Similar findings were reported by Zhang (2024) in research conducted on grasshoppers in Ningxia Province, China [67]. Furthermore, previous large-scale studies have assessed multiple factors contributing to grasshopper population dynamics. These investigations revealed that grasshopper density is influenced by complex interactions among plant functional groups (PFG), nutrient litter (VT), and soil types (ST) [68]. Future research could enhance predictions regarding potential distribution areas of grasshoppers by incorporating additional environmental variables.
There are some limitations in this study, such as the temporal and spatial limitations in the sampling process, which failed to comprehensively observe the seasonal changes and spatial distribution patterns of grasshoppers. In the future, we need to further explore the dynamic relationship between grasshopper communities and environmental factors such as climate change, vegetation types, and human activities. Future research should combine long-term monitoring with multi-factor analysis to offer a more comprehensive assessment of grasshopper community conditions and species diversity on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.

5. Conclusions

The unique ecology of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau promotes a diverse population of grasshoppers, and climate change may facilitate the expansion of their habitat. These findings underscore the imperative for targeted conservation initiatives in the identified priority areas, such as the Bayan Har Mountains and the Hengduan Mountains, to protect the region’s unique biodiversity and ecosystem services. The relative stability of the grasshopper community contrasts with the rapidly changing context of global biodiversity, highlighting the need to deepen our ecological understanding of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau to predict and mitigate future changes to its unique ecosystems.

Figure 2. Sparse curves of Acridoidea in different habitats of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. This figure presents the species diversity indices of Acridoidea individuals randomly sampled from various habitats within the plateau using different algorithms in R studio. The y-axis represents the number of species, while the x-axis denotes the number of specimens. The point at which the dilution curves cease to show a significant upward trend indicates adequate sampling. Except for the evergreen broad-leaved forest in the warm temperate zone, which shows insufficient sampling, all other habitats demonstrate adequate sampling. Legend: SEBF—Subtropical Evergreen Broad-leaved Forest; TG—Temperate Grassland; TD—Temperate Desert; ACV—Alpine Cold Vegetation of Qinghai–Tibet; WTEBF—Warm Temperate Evergreen Broad-leaved Forest; TMR—Temperate Monsoon Rainforest.

Figure 4. Species richness pattern of Acridoidea in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. This figure illustrates the distribution of species richness for Acridoidea across the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, analyzed using ArcMap 10.8 software at a 0.5° grid scale. The species richness is categorized into four classes using the natural breaks (Jenks) classification method, with darker shades indicating a higher number of species within each grid. The data show a concentration of Acridoidea species in the eastern and southern regions of the plateau (between 94–104° E longitude and 26–34° N latitude), suggesting a pattern of higher species richness in these areas.

Figure 6. Specific distribution areas identified by two methods on a 1° grid scale. The non-weighted average group method reveals five endemic areas: Himalayas (F8, F9), Bayan Har Mountains (D12, D13), Jinsha River (E14, F14), Western Sichuan (E15, E16), and Hengduan Mountains (G14, G15). The endemicity parsimony analysis (PAE) identifies three areas: Jinsha River (E14, F14), Hengduan Mountains (G14, G15), and Western Sichuan Hengduan region (G14, G15). Both methods highlight the Jinsha River and Hengduan Mountains as key endemic regions, with the non-weighted method also noting the Himalayas and Bayan Har, and PAE marking Western Sichuan.
