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.

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

Species distribution models showed that the topographical position index and slope drives the distribution of P. parnassica and the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index and slope that of O. parnassica. Generalised linear models showed that the abundance of P. parnassica was negatively influenced by the mean height of herbaceous vegetation and that of

Our study compiled and analysed spatio‐temporal species' extirpation on a broad taxonomic coverage at the city scale. We revealed high number of extirpations, which are in the twenty‐firstcentury already comparable with previous centuries, and showed that cities might be suitable systems for studying species' extirpation processes due to their small ...

Response of Orthoptera to clear-cuts in beech forests
Various disturbances in forests often result in the formation of open habitats with characteristics that are distinctly different from those of the original forest (microclimate, illumination, stand age and composition).

Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) improvement: Challenges and prospects—A review
Abstract Finger millet is a climate‐resilient and highly nutritious small grain crop widely grown in the semi‐arid tropics. It has multiple uses, including for food, feed and beverage preparations. However, finger millet is an under‐utilized and under‐researched crop with a mean yield of <1.0 t/ha despite a potential productivity of up to 8 t/ha.

Abstract Aim Temperature is one of the main drivers shaping species diversity and assembly processes. Yet, site‐specific effects of the local microclimate on species and trait compositions of insect communities have rarely been assessed along macroclimatic temperature clines. Location Bavarian Alps, Germany.

How to enhance the acceptability of insects food—A review
Exploring new food sources is very tempting for achieving zero hunger of the world and edible insects (EIs) may be one of the ways to solve human protein deficiency. However, there is still largely rejection in various parts of the world. In this review, we systematically summarize the factors behind rejection of EIs as well as ways to improve the ...
