Small Bugs, Big Data: Metagenomics for Arthropod Biodiversity Monitoring. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We used metagenomic sequencing of 40 bulk arthropod samples collected across Sweden to classify taxa and compare results with metabarcoding from the same samples. While metabarcoding was more sensitive for detecting low‐abundance taxa, taxonomic overlap between methods was strongly influenced by reference database representation.

New genome size estimates for band-winged and slant-faced grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Oedipodinae, Gomphocerinae) reveal the so far largest measured insect genome

open access: yesCaryologia, 2021
Grasshoppers, specifically those of the family Acrididae are known to have the largest genomes of all insects. However, less than 100 species of Orthoptera have their genome size estimated so far. In the present study, we measured the genome size of five

Abundance, distribution, and associated forage losses of pest grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in the Argentine Pampas [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023
The goal of this study was to assess the status of Dichroplus elongatus and Borellia bruneri as actual agricultural pests in the Argentine Pampas by determining their abundance, distribution, and associated forage loss. The study was conducted in Laprida

Fauna, structure of communities and acoustic signals of grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) in environs of the Dzhanybek Research Station [PDF]

open access: yesКавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2009
36 grasshopper species were showed for environs of the Dzhanybek Research Station. Features of their phenology and biotopical preference were investigated. Structure of grasshopper communities in common types of biotopes is discussed.

Ecology and abundance of a relict population of the bush cricket Saga pedo in the Northern Apennines, Italy. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Our study reveals that the expansion of forest cover and intensification of agriculture have led to the decline of Saga pedo, a species currently listed as Vulnerable. The population of Saga pedo in the study area is estimated to be 197 individuals, but detection is challenging due to the species' elusive behavior and the impact of environmental ...

An annotated checklist of grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) from Mongolia [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal, 2023
Grasshoppers (Acridoidea, Orthoptera) are the dominant herbivores in grassland ecosystems worldwide. They can increase rangeland productivity by stimulating plant growth and accelerating nutrient cycling.

MultiBarcodeTools: Easy selection of optimal primers for eDNA multi‐metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1793-1808, November 2023., 2023
Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) is a revolutionary technique for monitoring of ecosystems, but no single primer can amplify and discriminate all species in any environment. We developed MultiBarcodeTools, which automatically recommend the optimal combination of fish eDNA multi‐metabarcoding primers.
