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.

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 ...

Ecology and abundance of a relict population of the bush cricket Saga pedo 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 ...

Calling songs of Neotropical katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) from Panama [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2020 Understanding the ecology and evolution of animal communication systems requires detailed data on signal structure and variation across species. Here, we describe the male acoustic signals of 50 species of Neotropical katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae)

Paraplangia sinespeculo, a new genus and species of bush-cricket, with notes on its biology and a key to the genera of Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera: Tettigonioidea) from Madagascar [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2018 Madagascar is a well-known hotspot of biodiversity. However, many Orthoptera, and especially the Tettigonioidea, belong to little-studied groups. Here we describe a new genus and species of bush-cricket reared from field-collected eggs.
