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

Paleocene of Menat Formation, France, reveals an extraordinary diversity of orthopterans and the last known survivor of a Mesozoic Elcanidae [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 The orthopteran fauna of the Paleocene of Menat Formation (France) is revised. It comprises at least 12 species in the following clades: Grylloidea (an undescribed species, Menatgryllus longixiphus gen. et sp.

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 Physiol1. 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 NeurolThe 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 PhytolSummary 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.

Mating behaviour and vibratory signalling in non-hearing cave crickets reflect primitive communication of Ensifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In Ensifera, the lack of well-supported phylogeny and the focus on acoustic communication of the terminal taxa hinders understanding of the evolutionary history of their signalling behaviour and the related sensory structures.

The first mitochondrial genome for the superfamily Hagloidea and implications for its systematic status in Ensifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hagloidea Handlirsch, 1906 was an ancient group of Ensifera, that was much more diverse in the past extending at least into the Triassic, apparently diminishing in diversity through the Cretaceous, and now only represented by a few extant species.
