NEMATODES AND NEMATOMORPHS AS CONTROL AGENTS OF GRASSHOPPERS AND LOCUSTS
, 1997 The relationship of nematodes and nematomorphs with grasshoppers and locusts is reviewed, emphasizing the actual or potential role of these parasitoids in microbial management. There are records of mermithids parasitizing grasshoppers worldwide, and they

The Effect of Relevance on Children's Multiple Text Reading: Evidence From Eye Movements
Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 1191-1208, October 2026.ABSTRACT We examined how Finnish children read and integrate information across multiple expository texts when given an inquiry task. We were interested in how task‐relevance of text information affects readers' eye movements and whether the eye movements are connected to the quality of an essay written after reading.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2262-2285, September 2026.Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

EcosphereEcosystems 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

Diseases are killing grasshoppers [PDF]
, 2002 Grasshoppers in Iowa are now dying from infection by several insect pathogens. These pathogens are causing disease that may devastate grasshopper populations in corn and soybean fields before the first frost. Entomophaga fungus is a widespread and common

Ecology 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 ...

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

Learning improves growth rate in grasshoppers [PDF]
, 2000 To quantify the adaptive significance of insect learning, we documented the behavior and growth rate of grasshoppers (Schistocerca americana) in an environment containing two artificial food types, one providing a balanced diet of protein and ...

Global 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 ...
