Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Local habitat type and hedgerow cover strongly shape bee and wasp richness, but only weakly their reproductive output, outweighing the landscape diversity effects at the 1‐km2 scale. Forests host more wasp but fewer bee species, whereas orchards support high richness of both; bee reproduction patterns are driven by one dominant species, while wasp ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gryllodes sigillatus is an increasingly important species in edible insect production, yet the optimal rearing density for this species under commercial conditions remains poorly defined. This study evaluated the effects of five rearing densities (1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 mL of newly hatched nymphs, corresponding to approximately 0.144–0.385 ...

Regional Cricket Identities: The construction of class narratives and their relationship to contemporary supporters. [PDF]
Cricket in the North and South of England, has historically been attributed or ‘imagined’ in diametrically opposite and stereotyped terms. As the above quote from a display at the Bradman Museum at Bowral in NSW, Australia implies; namely a ‘competitive’

Assessing the Impact of Urbanization on Grasshopper Behaviour—A Fieldwork Approach
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urbanization is one of the most significant land‐use changes globally, profoundly impacting biodiversity across taxa. Insects, including grasshoppers (Orthoptera), are particularly sensitive to urban pressures, often exhibiting both morphological and behavioural adaptations.

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.Our ancestral state reconstruction in tree crickets reveals multiple independent and irreversible losses of sound‐producing and ‐receiving structures, supporting the convergent evolution of the silent phenotype. We demonstrate strong evolutionary integration between forewings and tympana, although the discovery of ‘silent listeners′ and ‘deaf singers ...

Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract In this essay the author examines what Dietrich Bonhoeffer meant when he wrote from prison to his friend Eberhard Bethge and said that he wanted to retrieve “aesthetic existence” in the life of the church as a sphere of freedom. This is related to what he also told Bethge, namely, that it is “only as we hold fast to Christ as cantus firmus ...

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Oviposition and care decrease the total haemocyte concentration. Oviposition and care affect haemocyte type proportions. Serratia marcescens challenge does not affect the immune cell parameters. Abstract Reproduction and immunity are essential biological processes that compete for resources and energy.

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.
