Abstract: Late summer grasshopper communities were compared to each other according to some structure parameters. Grasshoppers were counted along 1m wide transects in southwestern-, and north-facing sites, and in different succesional stages of dolomitic grasslands in the Buda Hills, Hungary. Community structure parameters revealed high similarity of communities relate to the dolomitic succession, but showed a high dissimilarity between these sites and the north-facing site. While diversity showed a positive linear relationship with plant cover, dominance (Berger-Parker index) of species changed in a negative manner.
