AbstractVariation in morphological traits along latitudinal gradients often manifests as size clines. In insects, both positive and negative correlations are seen, and the mechanism behind the response is unclear. We studied variation in seven morphological traits of Roesel’s bush cricket,Metrioptera roeselii, sampled from seven latitude‐matched‐pair ...

Range Expansion and Invasive Capacity of the Wing Di- and Polymorphic Insects: A Short Review
In this review article the invasive potential of wing dimorphic and polymorphic insects is discussed by presenting two case studies and overviewing the general knowledge of the dispersal abilities of these insects.

Linear landscape elements are generally considered beneficial for promoting the movements of species between isolated habitats. However, relatively little consideration has been given to the effect of interconnections (nodes) between these elements: e.g.

Copulatory courtship by bushcricket genital titillators revealed by functional morphology, μCT scanning for 3D reconstruction and female sense structures. [PDF]
Genitalia are rapidly evolving morphological structures most likely under sexual selection. Due to their internal nature they are often hidden inside the body, thus morpho-functional studies of animal genitalia are broadly lacking.

Sexual selection on bushcricket genitalia operates in a mosaic pattern. [PDF]
Genitalic titillators in male bushcrickets are fast evolving morphological structures. The bushcricket titillators have several functions; they stimulate females and suppress female resistance, ensure proper spermatophore attachment, and facilitate male fixation.
