Mapping wing morphs of Tetrix subulata using citizen science data: Flightless groundhoppers are more prevalent in grasslands near water

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 632-641, July 2024.
We show that citizen science data, obtained through GBIF, are suitable for analyses of spatial distribution of morphological types within species like the slender groundhopper T. subulata. Wing morph (long or short) was determined based on photographs accompanying observations, and wing‐morph patterns were related to large‐ and medium‐scale landscape ...

Biodiversity, the present ecological state of the Aral Sea and its impact on future development

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2015
The Aral sea used to be the fourth largest lake in the world. Its catchment area is huge, two main rivers (Amu Darya and Syr Darya) feed the lake. The balance of hydrological regime changed drastically after 1960 due to regulation of both main rivers ...

Comparison of water and terrestrial jumping in natural and robotic insects

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1537, Issue 1, Page 13-31, July 2024.
Jumping of small creatures demands high power to surpass size‐related speed limits. They employ various mechanisms to amplify power release. Furthermore, semi‐aquatic jumpers use specialized techniques to maximize the momentum transfer from the water.

Development and Characterization of Fifteen Polymorphic Microsatellite Loci for Rare and Endangered Species within Luciobarbus Heckel, 1843 Genus in the Aral Basin and Their Conservation Application

open access: yesFishes
Biodiversity conservation entails not only the preservation of specific taxa but also genetic diversity. Despite the crucial role of molecular data in freshwater fish conservation management, there is a scarcity of information regarding the genetic ...

Urbanization reduces Orthoptera diversity and changes community structure towards mobile species

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 259-272, March 2024.
Orthoptera sampling at 42 dry grassland sites in Berlin revealed negative effects of urbanization on taxonomic and functional diversity. The proportion of sealed soil, the vegetation cover and the plant richness at the sampling sites had an effect on the species composition, but these effects were mostly species specific.

Conocephalus dorsalis

open access: yes, 2007
Conocephalus dorsalis ist am Neuenburgersee-Südufer (Grande Cariçaie) gut vertreten, hält sich jedoch andernorts nur an einigen sehr isolierten Standorten (Abb. 7). Ein Jahrhundert der Entwässerungen und Meliorationen hat ihr ursprüngliches Verbreitungsgebiet stark reduziert und ihr Verschwinden aus mehreren Gegenden des Landes bewirkt.

Does habitat matter in avoiding predators among sympatric Katydid species?

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Natural selection, through eavesdropping predators, plays a crucial role in shaping katydid behavior. Predators use the conspicuous katydid calls for prey localization. While commonly deployed defenses are known for many katydids, the possible effects of

Distribution of Orthoptera across the river valley (Kaluga-Aleksin canyon, European Russia) and their dynamics under the overgrowing of meadows

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука
Orthoptera insects (hereinafter – orthopterans) play a key role in grassland ecosystems and are often used as indicators of their condition. To conserve these insects and to model their habitat preferences, we need to know patterns of their distribution ...
