The central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.

Livestock grazing boosts plant diversity in the Greater Serengeti–Mara Ecosystem
Abstract Intensifying land use is a global threat to biodiversity, and livestock grazing—occupying 26% of terrestrial land—is one of such threats. Designated protected areas are one of the key conservation strategies to halt biodiversity loss, but their effectiveness is debated, in part because of data shortage at relevant spatial scales (>1 ha).

Rapid ideal habitat selection in a homogeneous environment
Abstract Studies of density‐dependent habitat selection typically assess choices between two or more distinctly different habitat opportunities. Although such studies can clearly document habitat choice, they cannot unambiguously differentiate the effects of density from underlying differences in habitat and their associated cues for choosing some ...

High‐speed sand‐shoveling nesting behavior in the Saharan silver ant
Abstract Nesting in deserts presents major challenges due to extreme heat and unstable sandy soils. The Saharan silver ant (Cataglyphis bombycina) is known for its rapid running that helps avoid heat during foraging. However, how silver ants manage to construct nests in such fine and unstable sand is not well understood.

Abstract Herbivores are important drivers of plant community composition and dominance in grassy ecosystems, yet few studies have attempted to understand how different types of herbivores impact plant dominance and function. This study examined the biomass of dominant grass species and other plant functional groups after 3 years of nested herbivore ...

Grasshoppers confirm mild winter [PDF]
If we use grasshoppers as a gauge of winter severity then the winter of 2001-2002 was certainly an insect-friendly winter. I noted in the December 2001 Integrated Crop Management newsletter that a few differential grasshoppers had survived around Ames ...
