The Role of Feeding Characteristics in Shaping Gut Microbiota Composition and Function of Ensifera (Orthoptera) [PDF]
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.

The Evolutionary Patterns of Genome Size in Ensifera (Insecta: Orthoptera) [PDF]
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

Gut bacterial communities across 12 Ensifera (Orthoptera) at different feeding habits and its prediction for the insect with contrasting feeding habits [PDF]
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.

The evolutionary dynamics of genome sizes and repetitive elements in Ensifera (Insecta: Orthoptera) [PDF]
Background In evolutionary biology, identifying and quantifying inter-lineage genome size variation and elucidating the underlying causes of that variation have long been goals.

Local prothoracic auditory neurons in Ensifera [PDF]
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

New estimates of genome size in Orthoptera and their evolutionary implications. [PDF]
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
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]
The 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 ...
