Chromosome fusion polymorphisms in the grasshopper, Dichroplus fuscus (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Melanoplinae): Insights on meiotic effects

open access: yesEuropean 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.

Levels of genetic polymorphism: marker loci versus quantitative traits [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Species are the units used to measure ecological diversity and alleles are the units of genetic diversity. Genetic variation within and among species has been documented most extensively using allozyme electrophoresis.

Variation in herbivore defense strategies among plant species differing in elevational distribution and the role of temperature in defense

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Temperature influences the distribution and performance of both plants and insect herbivores. Consequently, plant–herbivore interactions are likely to vary across thermal gradients, which could affect the evolution of plant defense. Furthermore, temperature fluctuations may elicit immediate changes in defense.

The occurrence in the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria (Orthoptera: Acrididae), of a short-winged morph with no obvious fitness advantages over the long-winged morph

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2013
A short-winged morph, whose occurrence is controlled by a simple recessive Mendelian unit, was recently discovered in Locusta migratoria. The existence of trade-offs between flight capability associated with wing length and other fitness-related traits ...

Expansion rate & dispersal pattern of the non-native Roesel’s bush-cricket in Sweden [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Environmental change and anthropogenic activities influence species distributions. Species introductions have become increasingly common in an era of globalization and increased international trade and travel.

Five New Species of New Zealand Hemiandrus Ander 1938 Ground wētā (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Five new species of ground wētā endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand are described based on morphological traits and informed by phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences. Hemiandrus briarae sp. nov. is a robust species living on mountains in northeast South Island, and H. dryadis sp. nov. is a gracile denizen of forests in northwest South Island.

Comparative analysis of the location of rDNA in the Palaearctic bushcricket genus Isophya (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2011
The present study focused on the evolution of the karyotype in 21 taxa of the genus Isophya, which was done by mapping the location on the chromosomes of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) coding genes using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with an 18S rDNA ...

A New Species of Tokoriro in the Genus Insulanoplectron Richards (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae) from Rakiura/Stewart Island

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Five monotypic genera of Rhaphidophoridae have been described from remote islands located south and east of New Zealand's South Island and surrounded by ocean for at least 100 km in all directions. These genera are Novoplectron Richards, 1958 from Chatham Islands; Ischyroplectron Hutton, 1896 from Bounty Islands; Notoplectron Richards, 1964 from ...

First record of mitochondrial genome of Teredorus nigropennis (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) and phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Teredorus nigropennis was determined and analyzed. This mitogenome was 14,652 bp in size and encoded 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes.
