Stable gullies provide a suitable habitat for functional insects and reduce the threat of pests on crops in farmland of Northeast China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study indicated that stable gullies with higher plant diversity provide the best habitat for functional insects rather than forest belts and grassland in the watershed, especially during busy farming activities. The vigorous growth stage was one key period for pest control, and gully as a source of BI can significantly regulate the pests in ...

A review of the fauna and bionomics of grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acridoidea) of the Ciscaucasia [PDF]

Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2020
Eighty six species of grasshoppers belonging to 11 subfamilies and 3 families are recorded for the Ciscaucasia. Paracinema tricolor (Charpentier, 1825), Stenobothrus stigmaticus (Rambur, 1838) and Omocestus minutus (Brullé, 1832) are recorded for the ...

Real power loss reduction by Acridoidea stirred artificial bee colony algorithm [PDF]

International Journal of Research in Industrial Engineering, 2020
Acridoidea Stirred Artificial Bee Colony (ASA) Algorithm is applied to solve the power loss reduction problem. In the projected algorithm natural Acridoidea jumping phenomenon has been imitated and the modeled design has been intermingled with artificial

Replicated Differential Expression Analysis in a Green-Brown Polymorphic Grasshopper Reveals Role of Beta-Carotene-Binding Protein in Body Coloration. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Orthoptera provide a well‐documented case of transspecies colour polymorphism, with green and brown morphs coexisting in many species. This colour polymorphism is likely under long‐term balancing selection, but the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the variation remain poorly understood.

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...
