Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]
, 2015 Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

High nitrogen enrichment buffers plant photosynthesis against herbivory damage
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 229-238, January 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivorous insects and nitrogen deposition are key drivers of ecosystem productivity under global change. However, their combined effects on plant photosynthesis, particularly during insect outbreaks, remain poorly understood in natural ecosystems.

FOOD CONSUMPTION AND UTILISATION OF THE GRASSHOPPER CHROTOGONUS LUGUBRIS BLANCHARD (ORTHOPTERA, ACRIDOIDEA, PYRGOMORPHIDAE) AND ITS EFFECT ON THE EGG DEPOSITION [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2002 The grasshopper is found all the year round. It is considered as a pest for seedlings. The consumption index differed significantly between groups fed on different diets. Mated females consume more food than virgin females or virgin males.

Phylogenetic diversity of insecticolous fusaria inferred from multilocus DNA sequence data and their molecular identification via FUSARIUM-ID and Fusarium MLST [PDF]
, 2012 We constructed several multilocus DNA sequence datasets to assess the phylogenetic diversity of insecticolous fusaria, especially focusing on those housed at the Agricultural Research Service Collection of Entomopathogenic Fungi (ARSEF), and to aid ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 26-39, January 2026.Ensemble model using multiple niche models was constructed to globally identify regions at high risk for Melanoplus differentialis distribution under climate change. The occurrence possibility was found to be particularly high in its native region, the United States, and high invasion risk was identified in non‐native regions, particularly in Europe ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2014 The occurrence of transposable elements (TEs) is a ubiquitous characteristic of eukaryotic genomes, and these sequences are highly abundant in some species. Due to their large genomes, grasshoppers (Orthoptera) appear to be potentially good candidates in

Arboreal ants use the "Velcro® principle" to capture very large prey [PDF]
, 2010 Plant-ants live in a mutualistic association with host plants known as "myrmecophytes" that provide them with a nesting place and sometimes with extra-floral nectar (EFN) and/or food bodies (FBs); the ants can also attend sap-sucking Hemiptera for their ...

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 102-115, January 2026.ABSTRACT The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), that is, the increase in species richness from the poles to the equator, is one of the oldest known ecological patterns. Its inverse (iLDG), where species richness increases toward higher latitudes, is less common but has recently attracted growing scientific interest.
