Losers, winners, and opportunists: How grassland land‐use intensity affects orthopteran communities

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Land use and corresponding habitat loss are major drivers of local species extinctions. Orthoptera as important grassland herbivores showed different responses to land‐use intensity in different studies, and the susceptibility of this group remains ...

Reducing the meta-emotional problem decreases physiological fear response during exposure in phobics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Anxiety disorders may not only be characterized by specific symptomatology (e.g., tachycardia) in response to the fearful stimulus (primary problem or first-level emotion) but also by the tendency to negatively evaluate oneself for having those ...

Detection experiments with humans implicate visual predation as a driver of colour polymorphism dynamics in pygmy grasshoppers

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2013
BackgroundAnimal colour patterns offer good model systems for studies of biodiversity and evolution of local adaptations. An increasingly popular approach to study the role of selection for camouflage for evolutionary trajectories of animal colour ...

Separate and synergistic anti‐herbivore effects of non‐glandular trichomes and leaf chemistry in a desert plant

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Changes in locusts diversity, niche and interspecific association at different altitudes in the Ili River basin of China

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Species diversity at different altitudes exhibits different variation patterns. In alpine ecosystems, species migration from low to high altitudes has changed the intensity of interspecific competition and association, inevitably adjusting or changing ...

Food-plant choice of seven dominant grasshopper species in the Xinjiang grasslands [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Orthoptera Research
Feeding habits and competitive interactions among dominant grasshopper species in the Xinjiang grasslands (China) were studied under natural conditions through microscopic analyses of insect crop contents.

Levels of genetic polymorphism: marker loci versus quantitative traits [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Species are the units used to measure ecological diversity and alleles are the units of genetic diversity. Genetic variation within and among species has been documented most extensively using allozyme electrophoresis.

Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...

Biological control of locusts and grasshoppers: A review [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Orthoptera Research
Locusts and grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are pests of agricultural importance, devastating crops and pastures. This group includes hundreds of pest species and affects the livelihoods of one in every ten people worldwide.
