The first Cretaceous Eumastacoidea (Orthoptera, Caelifera) from Burmese amber [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera ResearchA new genus and species of fossil Eumastacoidea Burr, 1899 from Kachin amber is described. Burmeumastax lexiae gen. et sp. nov. is the 14th member of this superfamily known from fossil material and only the third to predate the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg)

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

Possibility of numt co-amplification from gigantic genome of Orthoptera: testing efficiency of standard PCR protocol in producing orthologous COI sequences [PDF]
Heliyon, 2018 Mitochondrial DNA has been the preferential genome biodiversity studies. However, several factors contribute to its inadequacy. Numts constitute one of the main complications that prevent obtaining orthologous mitochondrial sequences.

Evolution of chromosome number in grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Caelifera: Acrididae) [PDF]
Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2022 Orthoptera have some of the largest genomes of all insects. At the same time, the architecture of their genomes remains poorly understood. Comparative cytological data across a wide range of taxa, even for basic parameters such as chromosome number, may ...

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.
