Destroy the Grasshopper Eggs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1931
Grasshoppers did an immense amount of damage to farm crops in South Dakota in 1930 and 1931. If weather conditions are favorable during the coming winter and next spring, there is every reason to believe that 1932 will be another grasshopper year, but ...

Population Status, Ecology and Conservation Challenges of Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis), Especially in the Southern Africa Subregion: A Systematic Review and Evidence Synthesis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) occupies a wide range of natural and human‐modified habitats, yet research effort across its range is highly uneven. Our systematic review of 173 studies synthesises patterns in population trends, habitat use, breeding ecology, threats and ecosystem services, revealing strong geographic and thematic biases in available ...

Using DNA Metabarcoding and Citizen Science to Assess the Diet of Owned Domestic Cats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Various methods have been attempted to quantify hunting and consumption of wild prey by domestic cats, but molecular analysis of their scat using DNA metabarcoding has rarely been attempted. In this study, we relied on owner‐collected scats (n = 32) from litterboxes and backyards to test whether this methodology could be used to detect ...

Taxonomy and distribution of some orthopteran species (Orthoptera: Gryllidae, Trigonidiidae, Acrididae) from northwestern Morocco

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa
Orthopterans have emerged as a crucial group of invertebrates for environmental monitoring and assessment. According to available literature the study of Moroccan orthopteran species remains limited in comparison to other countries. In recent years, the

Knowledge gaps and areas for synthesis in experimental studies of context‐dependent predation risk

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract A growing number of experimental studies address whether the anti‐predator trait responses of prey are associated with costs to prey fitness (non‐consumptive effects) or to the fitness of other species (trait‐mediated indirect effects). Because ecologists remain keen to determine when these risk effects matter, there is a need to know how much

Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 620-645, September 2026.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Trait Plasticity in Herbivore Populations Maintains Geographic Patterns of Herbivory on a Dominant Plant Species Under Warming

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Warm and Cool origin grasshopper populations responded to experimental warming with different blends of behavioral and physiological plasticity. These responses enabled Warm and Cool Origin grasshoppers to maintain similar estimated field metabolic rates and exert similar, location‐specific herbivory on the plant community across experimental warming ...
