The Evolutionary Patterns of Genome Size in Ensifera (Insecta: Orthoptera) [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Genomic size variation has long been a focus for biologists. However, due to the lack of genome size data, the mechanisms behind this variation and the biological significance of insect genome size are rarely studied systematically. The detailed taxonomy

The Role of Feeding Characteristics in Shaping Gut Microbiota Composition and Function of Ensifera (Orthoptera) [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Feeding habits were the primary factor affecting the gut bacterial communities in Ensifera. However, the interaction mechanism between the gut microbiota and feeding characteristics is not precisely understood.

Local prothoracic auditory neurons in Ensifera [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 A new method for individually staining insect neurons with metal ions was described in the late 60s, closely followed by the introduction of the first bright fluorescent dye, Lucifer Yellow, for the same purpose. These milestones enabled an unprecedented

Gut bacterial communities across 12 Ensifera (Orthoptera) at different feeding habits and its prediction for the insect with contrasting feeding habits. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Insect microbial symbioses play a critical role in insect lifecycle, and insect gut microbiome could be influenced by many factors. Studies have shown that host diet and taxonomy have a strong influence on insect gut microbial community.

New estimates of genome size in Orthoptera and their evolutionary implications. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Animal genomes vary widely in size, and much of their architecture and content remains poorly understood. Even among related groups, such as orders of insects, genomes may vary in size by orders of magnitude-for reasons unknown.

The importance of habitat mosaics for Orthoptera (Caelifera and Ensifera) in dry heathlands
European Journal of Entomology, 2010 In summer 2008, the Orthopteran species Chorthippus biguttulus, Myrmeleotettix maculatus (Caelifera), Decticus verrucivorus and Platycleis albopunctata (Ensifera) were sampled in coastal heathland on the German Baltic Sea island of Hiddensee.

Description of two new species of Rhaphidophora and Diestramima (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae) from China [PDF]
ZooKeysThe family Rhaphidophoridae (Orthoptera, Ensifera) was established by Walker in 1869 with Rhaphidophora Serville, 1838 as the type genus. Morphologically, all species are completely wingless, with a flattened, dorsally convex body, a longitudinally ...
