Altogether 22 species of Orthoptera (6 Tettigonioidea, 2 Tetrigoidea and 14 Acrididoidea) were found in 16 selected localities, in peat bogs and wet mountain meadows in the Orava region in 2008–2011. Only 16 species were registered in peat bogs (4 Tettigonioidea, 2 Tetrigoidea and 10 Acrididoidea) and 18 species in wet mountain meadows. Number of species per site varied between 2 and 14 (mean 9.5). The euryoecious species Euthystira brachyptera (F=100% of sites), Metrioptera roeselii and Omocestus viridulus (both 93.8%), Chorthippus apricarius (87.5%) and Chorthippus parallelus (75%) were the most frequent species. Mountain species Miramella alpina and Metrioptera brachyptera are indicators of specific mountain bilberry meadows and pet bogs. In this extremely cold area we expected wing dimorphic individuals (macropterism) in some brachypterous species. The highest number of macropters was found in Chrysochraon dispar, especially in peat bogs ecotones of the Rudné Nature Reserve (26.8%).Occurrence, distribution and macropterism in some brachypterous species are commented.}, type={Text}, title={Orthoptera of the peat bogs and wet mountain grasslands in Orava region (NW Slovakia)}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/34834/PDF/WA058_52787_P256-T55_Frag-Faun-Nr-2.pdf}, volume={55}, number={2}, journal={Fragmenta Faunistica}, publisher={Museum and Institute of Zoology, PAS}, keywords={grasshoppers, crickets, peat bogs, macropters, brachypters, Slovakia, Ensifera, Caelifera, Orthoptera, orthopterans, Insecta, insects, Orava (region)}, }
