Sensing of Substrate Vibrations in the Adult Cicada Okanagana rimosa (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]
Detection of substrate vibrations is an evolutionarily old sensory modality and is important for predator detection as well as for intraspecific communication. In insects, substrate vibrations are detected mainly by scolopidial (chordotonal) sense organs

Effects of the timing of grazing on insect diversity and insect-plant interactions in mountain grasslands. [PDF]
Abstract Grazing is the common agricultural land‐use in mountain regions. It is of high socioeconomic importance but also essential for conservation as extensive mountain pastures are hotspots of biodiversity. Climate change is causing earlier growing seasons, prompting earlier livestock turnout.
