Sexual selection on bushcricket genitalia operates in a mosaic pattern [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 In most species with internal fertilization, male genitalia evolve faster than other morphological structures. This holds true for genital titillators, which are used exclusively during mating in several bushcricket subfamilies.

Anormalous liu sp. nov.: a first record and a new species of the genus Anormalous Liu, 2011 (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae) from India [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 The Phaneropterinae, commonly known as the bush katydids, are among the most diverse tettigoniids in the world. A new species Anormalous liu sp. nov. is described from Kashmir, India. This is the second species in the short-winged genus Anormalous. It is

Geographic differentiation in male calling song of Isophya modestior (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 We studied the songs and morphology of the stridulatory file of Isophya modestior across its complete geographic range, in order to test our hypothesis that the male calling song of the species shows strong differentiation between the northern (Pannonian)

Nontarget catches of traps with chemical lures may refer to the flower-visitation, probable pollination, and feeding of bush crickets (Ensifera: Tettigoniidae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The flower visitation and host plant preference of seven temperate zone Tettigoniidae species were studied during the development of traps with chemical lures. Large numbers of Orthoptera were caught, providing an opportunity for analysis. Based on data from chemical lures and nature photos, the studied Orthoptera species mainly visit Asteraceae ...

Beyond the exponential horn: a bush-cricket with ear canals which function as coupled resonators [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Bush-crickets have dual-input, tympanal ears located in the tibia of their forelegs. The sound will first of all reach the external sides of the tympana, before arriving at the internal sides through the bush-cricket's ear canal, the acoustic trachea (AT)

Ecology and abundance of a relict population of the bush cricket <i>Saga pedo</i> in the Northern Apennines, Italy. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study reveals that the expansion of forest cover and intensification of agriculture have led to the decline of Saga pedo, a species currently listed as Vulnerable. The population of Saga pedo in the study area is estimated to be 197 individuals, but detection is challenging due to the species' elusive behavior and the impact of environmental ...

Karyotypes of three species of Hyperophora Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 (Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae) enable morphologically similar species to be distinguished [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2019 Phaneropterinae is the largest subfamily of Tettigoniidae, distributed across the globe. There are few cytogenetic studies regarding this group, as in the case of the genus group Aniarae, which represents only two karyotyped species.

Local prothoracic auditory neurons in Ensifera [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 A new method for individually staining insect neurons with metal ions was described in the late 60s, closely followed by the introduction of the first bright fluorescent dye, Lucifer Yellow, for the same purpose. These milestones enabled an unprecedented

Rapid chromosomal evolution in the bush-cricket Gonatoxia helleri Hemp, 2016 (Orthoptera, Phaneropterinae) [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2020 Gonatoxia helleri Hemp, 2016 is one of the most widespread bush-crickets of the genus Gonatoxia Karsch, 1889 in East Africa. This species with seven large chromosomes (2n♂ = 7) differs from other representatives of the genus Gonatoxia drastically by its ...
