Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Ensemble model using multiple niche models was constructed to globally identify regions at high risk for Melanoplus differentialis distribution under climate change. The occurrence possibility was found to be particularly high in its native region, the United States, and high invasion risk was identified in non‐native regions, particularly in Europe ...

The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

European 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.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.The effects of sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) invasion on arthropods depended on its density and varied between habitat types and arthropod groups. Vegetation‐dwelling, primarily herbivorous orthopterans and true bugs were most sensitive to invasion. Sand dropseed negatively affected the arthropod species of high natural value.

Invasive insect colonisation shapes the population distribution of an island‐endemic scaly cricket
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.I assessed whether non‐native insect colonisation altered the population distribution of one case study island‐endemic insect: Discophallus ascension of volcanic Ascension Island in the South Atlantic. Invasive ants and crickets had strongly reduced D.

European 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 ...

Native insect species should be selected for classroom rearings
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Rearing insects in the school classroom can build positive attitudes towards insects among schoolchildren, which is becoming increasingly important as insect populations decline. Identified frequent use of non‐native insect species, raising environmental and ethical concerns after classroom rearing ends.
