Response of Orthoptera to clear-cuts in beech forests
Various disturbances in forests often result in the formation of open habitats with characteristics that are distinctly different from those of the original forest (microclimate, illumination, stand age and composition).

Expansion rate & dispersal pattern of the non-native Roesel’s bush-cricket in Sweden [PDF]
Environmental change and anthropogenic activities influence species distributions. Species introductions have become increasingly common in an era of globalization and increased international trade and travel.

Niche packing, but not niche expansion, explains the co‐occurrence of hummingbirds‐visited plants
Tropical mountains often harbour high species richness. Yet the mechanisms behind such high richness remain poorly understood. One prominent hypothesis for high species richness is niche partitioning, which reduces competition and promotes coexistence.

A-type allatostatins and sulfakinins as satiety effectors in the Mediterranean field cricket Gryllus bimaculatus [PDF]
Allatostatine (AS) und Sulfakinine (SK) sind Neuropeptidhormone, die aus mehreren Insektenarten isoliert und analysiert wurden. Die AS können durch strukturelle Merkmale in drei Typen eingeteilt werden, wobei die Peptide des A Typs durch das C-terminale ...

Differential effect of grassland mowing on arthropod taxa
First, we discovered that mowing had a negative effect on overall arthropod abundance in all four of our studies. Second, our four studies found that seven taxa showed only negative, four only positive, and four mixed positive and negative responses. Third, regarding taxonomic resolution, no third‐level taxon (i.e.

Evolution of dominant frequencies in songs of Eneopterinae crickets was studied with respect to phylogeny. Two characters are optimized on the tree: the first describes the frequency resulting from the vibration of the harp (Fda), and the second is due ...

Increased copulation duration before ejaculate transfer is associated with larger spermatophores, and male genital titillators, across bushcricket taxa [PDF]
Copulation duration varies considerably across species, but few comparative studies have examined factors that might underlie such variation. We examined the relationship between copulation duration (prior to spermatophore transfer), the complexity of ...
