Analysis of Intestinal Microbial Diversity of Four Species of Grasshoppers and Determination of Cellulose Digestibility

Insects, 2022
Grasshoppers (Insecta, Orthoptera, Acridoidea) are a large group of agricultural and animal husbandry pests. They have a large food intake with high utilization of plants fibers.

Positive Selection Drove the Adaptation of Mitochondrial Genes to the Demands of Flight and High-Altitude Environments in Grasshoppers

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
The molecular evolution of mitochondrial genes responds to changes in energy requirements and to high altitude adaptation in animals, but this has not been fully explored in invertebrates.

Response of Grasshopper and Grasshopper Diversity to Different Grassland Types Under Enclosure Conditions [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Enclosure is one of the important methods used to restore grassland ecosystems. Locusts and grasshoppers are important components of grassland ecosystems and can accurately reflect changes in their habitats.

Grasshoppers as a food source? A review

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2016
Description of the subject. Current trends suggest an increasing future demand for conventional meats, which indicates a strong need to shift this dependency to other alternative protein sources such as insects. Literature.

How often are ecosystems top‐down controlled? Experiments in grassland, grasshopper, and bird systems over time and space [PDF]

Ecosphere
Ecosystems are frequently considered to be controlled by predation (top‐down). Experiments examined this in four bird/spider/grasshopper/prairie habitats over 34 years, employing in each habitat three 100 m2 bird exclosures and controls (121 habitat/year

Climate Change and Herbivores: Forty Years in a Bunchgrass Prairie [PDF]

Animals
Wild herbivore responses to anthropogenic climate change are often projected to be habitat and geographic range shifts as warmer conditions reduce the quantity and nutritional quality of forage plants, which makes species presence/absence a focus.

Perception and knowledge of grasshoppers among indigenous communities in tropical forest areas of southern Cameroon: Ecosystem conservation, food security, and health [PDF]

Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2021
The increased attention given to health, food security, and biodiversity conservation in recent years should bring together conventional scientists and indigenous people to share their knowledge systems for better results.

Diversity of the gut microbiome in three grasshopper species using 16S rRNA and determination of cellulose digestibility [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Background Grasshoppers are typical phytophagous pests, and they have large appetites with high utilization of plants fibers, the digestion of which may depend on the microorganisms in their intestines.

Grasshoppers and locusts as human foods – a comprehensive review

Journal of Insects as Food and Feed, 2023
Nutritious and sustainable food sources are much needed to compensate for the rising demand for food due to the ever-growing human population. The idea of using insects as potential future foods is getting more attention globally.
