A new species of Burttia Dirsh (Caelifera, Acridoidea, Acrididae, Catantopinae) from the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania

Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2022
A new species of Burttia Dirsh, B. caerulea sp. nov., is described from the Nguru Mountains of Tanzania. It is the second species in the genus, both being restricted to Tanzanian localities. Both B. sylvatica, known only from the Uluguru Mountains, and B.

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.

The complex tibial organ of the New Zealand ground weta: sensory adaptations for vibrational signal detection [PDF]

, 2017
In orthopteran insects, a complex tibial organ has evolved to detect substrate vibrations and/or airborne sound. Species of New Zealand weta (Anostostomatidae) with tympanal ears on the foreleg tibia use this organ to communicate by sound, while in ...

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.

Mitigating the extinction risk of globally threatened and endemic mountainous Orthoptera species: Parnassiana parnassica and Oropodisma parnassica

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 54-68, January 2025.
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

Response of Orthoptera to clear-cuts in beech forests

European Journal of Entomology, 2013
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).
