European Journal of Entomology, 2015 Robertsonian fusions account for many of the changes in the evolution of the orthopteran karyotype; in their origin, a centric fusion is involved between two acro-telocentric chromosomes, forming a single bi-armed chromosome.

Microbial gut diversity in four grasshopper species and its correlation with cellulose digestibility
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Grasshoppers are common pests, and their intestinal microbes have coevolved with them. These microorganisms have varied community structures, and they participate in the nutritional absorption and metabolism of grasshoppers.

, 2014 Grasshoppers belong to the insect order Orthoptera, which also includes locusts and crickets. This order comprises more than 26,000 species (http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org) with global distribution and higher diversity in the tropics. The name of the order is derived from “orthos,” meaning “straight,” and “pteron,” meaning “wing.” Most orthopteran ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Triply‐twinned architected lattices transform deformation from bending to stretching of struts, delivering up to threefold increases in stiffness and strength across polymeric and metallic systems. High‐resolution synchrotron XCT and image‐based simulations reveal how meta‐grain architecture, defects, and AM build orientation govern failure pathways ...

Power Bars: Mormon Crickets Get Immunity Boost from Eating Grasshoppers
Insects, 2023 In addition to feeding on plants, Mormon crickets Anabrus simplex Haldeman, 1852 predate on invertebrates, including one another, which effectively drives their migration.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
