Density‐dependent sex‐biased development of macroptery in a water strider [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 In wing‐polymorphic insects, wing morphs differ not only in dispersal capability but also in life history traits because of trade‐offs between flight capability and reproduction. When the fitness benefits and costs of producing wings differ between males

European Journal of Entomology, 2009 Macroptery is common in many species of Orthoptera, but the causes are still discussed. Besides the assumption that macroptery is genetically determined, there is evidence that wing dimorphism is induced by environmental factors, particularly population ...

Polish Journal of Entomology, 2019 Abstract A dozen specimens of Eumodicogryllus bordigalensis were found in three localities in Poland as well more than thirty foreign specimens of the species collected in southern Europe, the Caucasus and Mongolia. They are deposited in the collection of the Museum of Zoology PAS. The adult specimens were studied in detail and measured. The indigenous

Does wing dimorphism affect mobility in Metrioptera roeselii (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae)?
European Journal of Entomology, 2011 Range shifts are among the most conspicuous effects of global warming. Marked changes in distribution are recorded both for highly mobile species of insects, which are capable of flight, and wing-dimorphic species with predominantly short-winged ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 23-39, January 2023., 2023 1. Phylogeny reconstruction based on mitochondrial genomes provided a number of insights into the evolutionary history of Blattoidea. 2. A new subfamily and two synonyms were proposed in Blattidae: Hebardininae subfam. nov., Archiblattinae Kirby syn. nov. and Shelfordella Adelung syn. nov. 3.

Hay meadows' overriding effect shapes ground beetle functional diversity in mountainous landscapes
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Mountain regions are hotspots of biodiversity, and are particularly sensitive to human activities and global changes. Characterizing biodiversity using trait‐based approaches may improve the understanding of the evolutionary and mechanistic basis of ecological patterns in species distribution.

The trade-off to macroptery in the cricket Gryllus firmus: a path analysis in males [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2000 Abstract Among the Orthoptera, wing dimorphism, where one morph is long-winged and flight capable while the other is short-winged and flight incapable, is common and believed to be maintained in populations due to trade-offs to flight capability.

European Journal of Entomology, 2016 This review considers factors affecting the flight capacity of carabid beetles and the implications of flight for carabids. Studies from the Dutch polders in particular show that young populations of carabids consist predominantly of macropterous species

European Journal of Entomology, 2006 Mechanisms of the suppression of gonadotropic activity of the corpus allatum (CA) in macropterous females were compared with those previously reported for either diapause or starving non-diapause brachypterous females by reciprocal transplantations of ...
