Studies in Australian Gryllacrididae: Taxonomy, biology, ecology and cytology
This study utilises new taxonomic characters to define the Australian Gryllacrididae, and notes on several well-knoun species of Pareremus are presented with illustrations and redescriptions of types.

Combined cytological and morphological analyses of stick insects belonging to the genus Sipyloidea Brunner from a limited geographical area in southern and south-western Australia serve to identify…
Grasshopper biodiversity and bioindicators in Australian tropical savannas: Responses to disturbance in Kakadu National Park
- A. Andersen, J. Ludwig, Lyn M. Lowe, D. Rentz
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 2001
It is demonstrated that grasshopper assemblages respond to disturbances associated with human land use and that these responses do not simply reflect those of plants.
Tettigoniidae of Australia Volume 2: Austrosaginae, Zaprochilinae and Phasmodinae
- D. Rentz
- Biology
- 1993
Evidence suggests that only pollen and nectar are eaten and the flower remains intact in the Phasmodinae, a small group with one genus and four species living in the heath habitats of Western Australia.
Tettigoniidae of Australia Volume 1: The Tettigoniinae
- D. Rentz
- Biology
- 1985
This volume deals with the shield-backed katydids, the Tettigoniinae, covering 17 genera and 72 species, and introduces a wealth of information about the zoogeography of the subfamily, and on the habitats and biologies of the insects.
The grasshopper (Orthoptera : Acridoidea, Eumastacoidea and Tettigonioidea) fauna of Kakadu National Park in the Australian seasonal tropics: biogeography, habitat associations and functional groups
- A. Andersen, Lyn M. Lowe, D. Rentz
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 25 August 2000
This study of the grasshoppers of Kakadu National Park in the seasonal tropics of the Northern Territory is the first comprehensive description of any regional grasshopper fauna in Australia and proposes a functional group classification for Australian Grasshoppers as a framework for future ecological and biogeographical studies.
Studies in Australian Tettigoniidae: The Mecopodine Katydids Part 2 (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Mecopodinae; Sexavaini) Queensland Palm Katydid
- D. Rentz, Y. Su, N. Ueshima
- Biology, Environmental Science
- 24 January 2009
Two tribes of Mecopodini and Sexavaini are represented in Australia and both are confined to the tropics, with one species apparently facultatively parthenogenetic, the Queensland Palm Katydid.
Chromosome systems in the North American Decticinae with reference to robertsonian changes (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae).
- N. Ueshima, D. Rentz
- Biology
- 25 September 1979
The probable pathways of chromosome evolution and the origin of the neo-XY and -X1X2Y sex determining mechanisms are discussed, as well as the phylogeny and present taxonomic status of the North American Decticinae based on chromosome systems.
