The grasshopper Eremippus simplex (Eversmann) (Orthoptera, Acrididae) in South Siberia: Rediscovery of a rare species

Acta Biologica Sibirica
The general distribution of the grasshopper Eremippus simplex (Eversmann, 1859) is described. Its taxonomic position and ecological peculiarities are characterized.

Molecular phylogenetics illuminates the evolutionary history and hidden diversity of Australian cave crickets (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 975-987, October 2025.
A fossil‐calibrated phylogeny of Rhaphidophoridae revealed Australia at the centre of the radiation of the Southern Hemisphere subfamily Macropathinae, with the Australian biota consisting of at least five separate lineages. Crown‐Macropathinae originated in the Lower Cretaceous (ca.

DNA barcoding and species delimitation of crickets, katydids, and grasshoppers (Orthoptera) from Central and Southern Europe, with focus on the Mediterranean Basin [PDF]

Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny
The Mediterranean Basin, recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot, harbors a remarkable diversity of grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets, many of which are endemic and potentially contain cryptic lineages.

Climate‐induced upslope shift of orthopteran herbivores imposes greater herbivory through trait complementarity

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1774-1785, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The asynchronous upward shift of insect herbivores and plants towards higher elevations following climate warming is anticipated to generate novel plant–insect interactions.

Differential effect of grassland mowing on arthropod taxa

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 288-298, April 2025.
First, we discovered that mowing had a negative effect on overall arthropod abundance in all four of our studies. Second, our four studies found that seven taxa showed only negative, four only positive, and four mixed positive and negative responses. Third, regarding taxonomic resolution, no third‐level taxon (i.e.

An annotated catalogue of the types of short-horned grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Caelifera) housed in the Zoological Museum Hamburg (ZMH) [PDF]

Evolutionary Systematics, 2018
Zoological collections remain the main archive of animal life on earth, especially in times of mass extinctions. The most important animals of these collections are the type specimens, which represent the original reference for a species.

Application of extended depth of field 3D imagery to tackle the challenges of cryptic species: a use case in the genus Betiscoides Sjöstedt, 1924 (Orthoptera, Caelifera, Lentulidae) and its taxonomic implications

Evolutionary Systematics
Discovering and handling cryptic diversity among species challenges taxonomists around the world. This is particularly true for the most diverse animal class – the insects – with cryptic diversity, apart from vast species numbers, being one of the main ...

Structural Diversity of Adipokinetic Hormones in the Coleopteran Suborder Polyphaga (Excluding Cucujiformia)

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 118, Issue 3, March 2025.
Adipokinetic hormones of Polyphaga beetles (minus Cucujiformia series) were sequenced and confirmed via mass spectrometry. Schgr‐AKH‐II is assumed as ancestral AKH in Coleoptera. Radiation of AKH diversity during the evolution of Scarabaeoidea. ABSTRACT Beetles are the largest animal group, in general.

Nomenclatural changes for some Orthoptera (Ensifera and Caelifera)

Zootaxa, 2008
Three proposed genus group names in the family Tettigoniidae, Euschmitiidae and Eumastacidae are nomenclaturally invalid, as the genus group names have already been used by different authors in other animal groups (Coleoptera and Hemiptera). In accordance with Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, I propose substitute names ...

Body Temperature Differences Between Green And Brown Grasshoppers Do Not Result From Thermal Physiology or Thermal Preferences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Colour morphs could represent different life‐history strategies, maximising their fitness locally in the trait space through trade‐offs between different biological functions. This mechanism could play a role in the maintenance of the green–brown polymorphism in Orthoptera.
