Indiana Ensifera (Orthopera) [PDF]

The Great Lakes Entomologist, 2017
(excerpt) A total of 67 species of long-horned grasshoppers and crickets were reported to occur in Indiana by Blatchley (1903) in his Orthoptera of Indiana.

Gryllacrididae (Orthoptera: Ensifera) in southern Africa [PDF]

Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2018
Although Gryllacrididae are a largely southern hemisphere insect family, they are relatively poorly represented in southern Africa, with three genera (Ametroides Karny, 1928, Glomeremus Karny, 1937, and Stictogryllacris Karny, 1937) and ten species and ...

Arthropod ectoparasites of synanthropic rodents in northern-central Italy. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
The presence of ectoparasites in synanthropic rodents in various Italian provinces was investigated. Eighty‐one Rattus norvegicus, 49 Rattus rattus and 10 Mus musculus were examined Polyplax spinulosa lice, Myobiidae mites, Laelaps echidninus and Notoedres muris were mainly recovered.

Developing and Applying RNA Empirical Models With Secondary Structure Insights for Orthoptera Phylogenetics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In the RNA secondary structure, paired regions experience stronger natural selection pressure than unpaired regions and are characterized by a higher density of coevolutionary sites. The empirical RNA evolutionary model that fully incorporates all base pairings can generate more reliable phylogenetic relationships.

Replicated Differential Expression Analysis in a Green-Brown Polymorphic Grasshopper Reveals Role of Beta-Carotene-Binding Protein in Body Coloration. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Orthoptera provide a well‐documented case of transspecies colour polymorphism, with green and brown morphs coexisting in many species. This colour polymorphism is likely under long‐term balancing selection, but the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the variation remain poorly understood.

A South African Scenario: Structure and Function of Peptides of the Adipokinetic Hormone Family of the Brown Locust, Locustana pardalina, and the Putative Role of These Peptides in Plague Management. [PDF]

Arch Insect Biochem Physiol
1. The brown locust produces the three adipokinetic hormones Locmi‐AKH‐I, ‐II and ‐III found also in the migratory locust. 2. Flight is characterised by differential changes in haemolymph carbohydrate and lipid levels. 3. Modelling ligand‐receptor binding is proposed as important step to a new strategy to combat the brown locust.

The Mechanosensory Subgenual Organ Complex in the Stick Insect Bacillus rossius (Phasmatodea): Neuroanatomy and Functional Morphology. [PDF]

J Comp Neurol
The subgenual organ complex in orthopteroid insects consists of few mechanosensory organs. In the stick insect Bacillus rossius, the subgenual organ and distal organ include ∼70 sensilla, and both organs are located in the hemolymph channel with several connections to the leg cuticle.

Testing macroevolutionary predictions of the Grant-Stebbins model in the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The Grant‐Stebbins model predicts that a plant species encountering different pollinators across its range may undergo local adaptation and, subsequently, ecological speciation. We tested whether this could explain the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus (Gesneriaceae), a species phylogenetically derived from sunbird specialist ancestors.

FIRST REPORT OF NECTAR ROBBING BY SWORD-BILLED HUMMINGBIRDS ENSIFERA ENSIFERA

Ornitología Neotropical, 2023
A growing number of hummingbird species are known to practice nectar robbing. Hummingbirds that rob nectar tend to have short bills and to rob flowers with long, tubular corollas that prevent the birds from accessing nectar through its openings.
