Acoustic Monitoring Enables Multi‐Taxa Conservation Assessment and Prioritisation Over Large Scales and for Rare and Cryptic Species

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim To combat the global biodiversity crisis, robust and scalable data are needed to target, monitor and evaluate conservation efforts, particularly in data‐poor regions and for cryptic taxa. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has the potential to provide solutions, but real‐world examples are still rare. We demonstrate how PAM data can be used

Body size evolution as a catalyst for diversification of copulation strategies and its spillover effects on genital evolution and phylogenetic divergence in terrestrial arthropods

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 191-207, July 2025.
A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Grassland nature reserves safeguard a high species richness and biomass of grasshoppers

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 11, Page 2739-2750, November 2024.
To preserve biodiversity in nature reserves, we recommend (i) leaving uncut refuges during mowing and (ii) blocking drainage to stabilise the water level. Both measures contribute to a high species number and abundance of grasshoppers and many other insects. An effective conservation measure to promote species richness in the wider countryside would be

Age, growth, and trophic ecology of the Redeye Bass, an alien invader of California rivers

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, Volume 153, Issue 5, Page 559-575, September 2024.
Abstract Objective The Redeye Bass Micropterus coosae is a piscivore introduced into California, which has become a threat to the state's endemic freshwater fishes. It has eliminated native fishes from the middle reaches of the Cosumnes River, our study stream, which is the largest stream without a major dam on its main stem in the Sacramento–San ...

`INVENTARISASI JENIS-JENIS SERANGGA ORDO ORTHOPTERA PADA TANAMAN JAGUNG DI DESA KESIMAN-DENPASAR

Simbiosis: Journal of Biological Sciences, 2018
In Indonesian national economics, maize is a second food source after rice. The production of maize in some aspect is affected by the presence of insect particularly Orthopteran Order.

Vertebrate grazing can mitigate impacts of nutrient addition on plant diversity and insect abundance in a semi‐natural grassland

Oikos, Volume 2024, Issue 9, September 2024.
Human‐induced nutrient eutrophication is a major threat to grassland biodiversity, because it promotes the dominance of fast‐growing plants. Negative impacts of fertilization on plant biodiversity may be offset by grazing by large vertebrate herbivores.

The neglect of nonnative orthopterans as potential invaders: A call for awareness

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 994-1000, August 2024.
The spread of nonnative orthopterans. Abstract Despite the potential ecological and economic impacts of invasive species, there is a dearth of data on the presence, impacts, and management implications of potentially invasive Orthoptera species. This lack of research and inconsistent data, including risk screenings and impact assessments, is especially

Initial response of Orthoptera to beaver (Castor fiber) reintroductions in post-arable enclosures [PDF]

Journal of Orthoptera Research
Rewilding aims to restore ‘self-willed’ ecosystems involving the creation of habitat subject to stochastic disturbance, connected by favorable corridors for dispersal of animals including insects.
