Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Phylogenetic relatedness of food plants reveals highest insect herbivore specialization at intermediate temperatures along a broad climatic gradient

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 13, Page 4027-4040, July 2022., 2022
The specialization of phytophagous insects changes along climatic gradients, but empirical evidence of how the phylogeny and availability of resources modulate herbivore specialization is scarce. We surveyed plant and orthopteran assemblages on 41 grasslands and reconstructed dietary relationships using metabarcoding of fecal samples and feeding ...

Trade‐off between flight capability and reproduction in Acridoidea (Insecta: Orthoptera)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 16849-16861, December 2021., 2021
Flight‐capable individuals (long‐winged) of Acridoidea expend energy developing and maintaining the flight apparatus at the expense of reproduction. Flight‐incapable individuals (short‐winged or wingless) cannot fly, but has a greater reproductive output.

Cytogenomic analysis unveils mixed molecular evolution and recurrent chromosomal rearrangements shaping the multigene families on Schistocerca grasshopper genomes

open access: yesEvolution, Volume 75, Issue 8, Page 2027-2041, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Multigene families are essential components of eukaryotic genomes and play key roles either structurally and functionally. Their modes of evolution remain elusive even in the era of genomics, because multiple multigene family sequences coexist in genomes, particularly in large repetitive genomes. Here, we investigate how the multigene families

Variation, plasticity and possible epigenetic influences in species belonging to the tribe Gomphocerini (Orthoptera; Gomphocerinae): A review

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2021
Environmental conditions can cause variation in morphology, behavior, and possibly epigenetic in the numerous species of the Gomphocerinae, especially in mountain habitats.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Dnopherula yuanmowensis (Orthoptera: Acrididae) and its phylogenetic implications

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Dnopherula yuanmowensis was sequenced and characterized in our study. The mitogenome is a circular molecule of 15,629 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer ...

El comportamiento acústico de Fenestra bohlsii Giglio-Tos (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Gomphocerinae) [PDF]

open access: yesNeotropical Entomology, 2010
The acoustic behavior of Fenestra bohlsii Giglio-Tos is described for the first time. The sounds and behaviors were observed and registered in captivity. The signals were digitized with the Sound-Blaster AWE64 Gold program and analysed with the Avisoft SAS Lab Pro 30 PC for MS Windows software.
