Nontarget catches of traps with chemical lures may refer to the flower-visitation, probable pollination, and feeding of bush crickets (Ensifera: Tettigoniidae). [PDF]
The flower visitation and host plant preference of seven temperate zone Tettigoniidae species were studied during the development of traps with chemical lures. Large numbers of Orthoptera were caught, providing an opportunity for analysis. Based on data from chemical lures and nature photos, the studied Orthoptera species mainly visit Asteraceae ...

Ontogeny of color development in two green-brown polymorphic grasshopper species. [PDF]
Ontogenetic development of two species of gomphocerine grasshoppers. Color morph differences develop early and remain stable for the rest of the insects life. Abstract Many insects, including several orthopterans, undergo dramatic changes in body coloration during ontogeny.

Abstract Tidal marsh insect communities are influenced by both salinity and aspects of vegetation texture (vegetation diversity, plant density, and architectural structure). These factors affect the abundances and intra‐ and interguild interactions of these insects and should result in broad‐scale variation in the distribution and ecological ...

Abstract Terminal channels were historically a common feature of tidal delta ecosystems but have become increasingly rare as landscapes have been modified. Tidal hydrodynamics are a defining feature in tidal terminal channel ecosystems from which native aquatic communities have evolved.

The production of sustainable crops and environmental management in farming face several significant potential obstacles, including climate change, resource depletion and environmental degradation. Weeds and insect pests that considerably reduce yields have put crop production systems in danger.

Traditional grazing management creates heterogeneous swards and fosters grasshopper densities
Graphical Abstract Abstract Common pastures were once the dominant type of land use in many European regions. However, during the past 150 years, they have declined dramatically. Recent studies have shown that they are hotspots for rare plant, butterfly, and bird species in the study area, the Bavarian pre‐Alps (southern Germany).

Diverse ecological functions and the convergent evolution of grass awns
Abstract The awn of grasses is a long, conspicuous outgrowth of the floral bracts in a grass spikelet. It is known to impact agricultural yield, but we know little about its broader ecological function, nor the selective forces that lead to its evolution. Grass awns are phenotypically diverse across the extant ~12,000 species of Poaceae. Awns have been

Abstract Aim Biodiversity loss is a major global challenge. While population trends of vertebrates are well documented, insect declines have not been sufficiently studied. We aim to identify changes in Orthoptera assemblages and the underlying drivers with a focus on land‐use and climate change. Location Central Europe.
