The complete mitochondrial genome of Eclipophleps carinata (Orthoptera: Acridoidea: Gomphoceridae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The complete Eclipophleps carinata mitogenome was sequenced through Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform and the resulting data were analyzed in this paper. The mitochondrial genome of E. carinata is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,781 bp with 37 genes and

Songs and morphology in three species of the Chorthippus biguttulus group (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Gomphocerinae) in Russia and adjacent countries [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 Songs and morphology are compared between Chorthippus miramae (Vorontsovsky, 1928) that was previously named as C. porphyropterus and two other closely related species, C. brunneus (Thunberg, 1815) and C. maritimus Mistshenko, 1951.

The green-brown polymorphism of the club-legged grasshopper Gomphocerus sibiricus is heritable and appears genetically simple [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Local coexistence of distinct, genetically determined color morphs can be unstable and transitional. Stable, long-term coexistence requires some form of balancing selection to protect morphs from getting lost by directional selection or ...

Transcriptome assembly for a colour-polymorphic grasshopper (Gomphocerus sibiricus) with a very large genome size [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background The club-legged grasshopper Gomphocerus sibiricus is a Gomphocerinae grasshopper with a promising future as model species for studying the maintenance of colour-polymorphism, the genetics of sexual ornamentation and genome size evolution ...

Energy balance of food in a detrito-bryophagous groundhopper (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Detritus (decaying organic matter) and phyllodes of mosses are two main components in the diet of groundhoppers (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae). We studied the energy balance of consumed food under laboratory conditions in the detrito-bryophagous groundhopper ...

A new species of aposematic grasshopper of the genus Pseudoutanacris (Acrididae: Gomphocerinae) from the Andean cloud forest of the Ecuadorian Amazon basin [PDF]
PeerJWe have identified a new grasshopper species belonging to the genus Pseudoutanacris Jago, 1971, in the montane forests of the eastern Andes in Ecuador. This discovery expands the known distribution of the genus, previously limited to a single species in ...

New data on bioacoustics and courtship behaviour in grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Gomphocerinae) from Russia and adjacent countries [PDF]
ZooKeysThe songs of seven grasshopper species of subfamily Gomphocerinae from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, and Kazakhstan were studied. We analysed not only the sound, but also the stridulatory movements of the hind legs to more entirely describe the songs.

The Fast Evolution of the Stenobothrini Grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acrididae, and Gomphocerinae) Revealed by an Analysis of the Control Region of mtDNA, with an Emphasis on the Stenobothrus eurasius Group [PDF]
InsectsThe two cryptic grasshopper species of the genus Stenobothrus, S. eurasius and S. hyalosuperficies, demonstrate different acoustic behavior despite a strong similarity in morphology.

Phenotypic plasticity, heritability, and genotype-by-environment interactions in an insect dispersal polymorphism [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground Evolutionary fitness is determined by the match between an organism’s phenotype and its local environment. When mismatched, individuals may disperse to more suitable habitats.
