Adapting the Dragonfly Biotic Index to a katydid (Tettigoniidae) rapid assessment technique: case study of a biodiversity hotspot, the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2017 Global biodiversity faces many challenges, with the conservation of invertebrates among these. South Africa is megadiverse and has three global biodiversity hotspots. The country also employs two invertebrate-based rapid assessment techniques to evaluate

Versatile aggressive mimicry of cicadas by an Australian predatory katydid.
PLoS ONE, 2009 BackgroundIn aggressive mimicry, a predator or parasite imitates a signal of another species in order to exploit the recipient of the signal. Some of the most remarkable examples of aggressive mimicry involve exploitation of a complex signal-response ...

Overlooked flower-visiting Orthoptera in Southeast Asia [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2017 The study of insect–plant interactions such as flower visitors, pollinators, and florivores, are important for understanding the natural world. However, not all flower-visiting insects are equally well known, especially in the biodiverse Southeast Asian ...

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.Our ancestral state reconstruction in tree crickets reveals multiple independent and irreversible losses of sound‐producing and ‐receiving structures, supporting the convergent evolution of the silent phenotype. We demonstrate strong evolutionary integration between forewings and tympana, although the discovery of ‘silent listeners′ and ‘deaf singers ...

ACI Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías, 2012 Hairy Big-eared Bats, Micronycteris hirsuta, have been observed to occupy attics in buildings that are not well sealed. Stereotypically, prey is brought to the roosting site for consumption where wings and hard structures are discarded while soft body ...

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

The scolopidial accessory organ in Gonatoxia bush-crickets (Tettigonioidea, Phaneropterinae, Holochlorini) [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera ResearchThe scolopidial accessory organ is a relatively small and compact chordotonal organ consisting of mechanosensory scolopidial sensilla. The accessory organ is placed in the tibia next to the larger subgenual organ in several Orthoptera.
