Matching habitat choice could be brightness‐based instead of hue‐based in green‐brown polymorphic grasshoppers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome for the groundhopper Mazarredia convexa (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Using next generation sequencing (NGS), we determined the mitochondrial genome of Mazarredia convexa. The assembled mitochondrial genome of M. convexa was found to be 15,089 bp, consisting of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA

Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

Vegetation type mediates how urbanization reshapes the structure, function, and spatial variation of soil food webs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization represents one of the major anthropogenic alterations of the Earth's surface, with significant impacts on biodiversity and its functions. Soil animals are essential components of biodiversity, and their trophic interactions play integral roles in the ...

Mammalian herbivory indirectly shapes savanna arthropod communities but only at very low or high levels

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study investigates how large mammalian herbivores shape arthropod communities in African savannas, using a broad gradient of herbivory types and intensities to assess these effects under real‐world, non‐experimental conditions. Abstract Savanna ecosystems support unique biodiversity and provide livelihoods for millions of people.
