Genome Size of 17 Species From Caelifera (Orthoptera) and Determination of Internal Standards With Very Large Genome Size in Insecta [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Comparative studies of insect genome size show that Orthoptera is a unique group of Insecta with a significantly enlarged genome. To determine a suitable internal standard for a large genome and to compare the effects of different internal standards on ...

New estimates of genome size in Orthoptera and their evolutionary implications. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Animal genomes vary widely in size, and much of their architecture and content remains poorly understood. Even among related groups, such as orders of insects, genomes may vary in size by orders of magnitude-for reasons unknown.

Bladder grasshoppers (Caelifera: Pneumoridae) contain three adipokinetic peptides [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 The corpora cardiaca (CC) of the pneumorid grasshopper species Bullacris discolor contain at least one substance that causes hyperlipaemia in the migratory locust. Isolation of neuropeptides belonging to the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) family was achieved

Ejaculate size varies with remating interval in the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus erythropus (Caelifera: Acrididae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2007 The number of sperm a male ejaculates is influenced, among other factors, by male age, time since last copulation and possibly a combination of both. Males of Chorthippus parallelus erythropus were subjected to three successive matings in which males had

A South African Scenario: Structure and Function of Peptides of the Adipokinetic Hormone Family of the Brown Locust, Locustana pardalina, and the Putative Role of These Peptides in Plague Management. [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem Physiol1. The brown locust produces the three adipokinetic hormones Locmi‐AKH‐I, ‐II and ‐III found also in the migratory locust. 2. Flight is characterised by differential changes in haemolymph carbohydrate and lipid levels. 3. Modelling ligand‐receptor binding is proposed as important step to a new strategy to combat the brown locust.

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

Multi-Locus Nuclear Marker Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Swiss Orthoptera Unveils Conservation Status Limitations. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT With accelerating biodiversity loss, tracking both inter‐ and intraspecific diversity is critical, as within‐species variation underpins population viability and adaptive potential. We developed a new multi‐locus framework, and obtained an Orthoptera‐specific marker panel targeting 398 nuclear loci plus the mitogenome and ribosomal DNA to ...

Developing and Applying RNA Empirical Models With Secondary Structure Insights for Orthoptera Phylogenetics. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn the RNA secondary structure, paired regions experience stronger natural selection pressure than unpaired regions and are characterized by a higher density of coevolutionary sites. The empirical RNA evolutionary model that fully incorporates all base pairings can generate more reliable phylogenetic relationships.

First DNA barcode reference library of grasshoppers on the Comoros Archipelago [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalDNA barcoding studies utilising COI gene sequences have been widely applied in insect taxonomy for two decades and remain so. Barcode reference libraries are a valuable molecular resource for future biodiversity assessments, including standard barcoding ...
