Delphacodes scolochloa
Delphacodes scolochloa is a wing-dimorphic planthopper species described in 2007, inhabiting prairie pothole wetlands of the North American Great Plains. The species exhibits two distinct wing morphs: brachypterous (short-winged) and macropterous (long-winged) individuals, with significantly different dispersal capabilities. Research has focused on its movement ecology, colonization patterns, and establishment success in fragmented wetland habitats, revealing strong Allee effects on population establishment.
