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

To fly or not to fly: Factors influencing the flight capacity of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) [PDF]
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

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

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, 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 ...

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 ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2001 The aim of this study was to determine if there is a latitudinal gradient in the photoperiodic regulation of wing dimorphism in the flightless bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.).

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 ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2004 The effect of wing length (brachyptery and macroptery) on mating activity was investigated in adult males and females of a flightless wing-polymorphic insect, Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.).
