A new long-winged pygmy grasshopper in Eocene Baltic amber raises questions about the evolution of reduced tegmenula in Tetrigidae (Orthoptera) [PDF]

Journal of Orthoptera Research
Extant pygmy grasshoppers (Tetrigidae) that possess wings have the forewings reduced into scale-like tegmenula, while hind wings remain fully developed. Rusmithia gorochovi gen. et sp. nov. (Tetrigidae, Batrachideinae, Rusmithini trib. nov.) is described

Pest categorisation of Diaprepes abbreviatus

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the citrus root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) for the European Union (EU) following the commodity risk assessment of Ligustrum delavayanum topiary grafted on L. japonicum plants from the UK in which D.

Pitfalls of using sequence databases for heterologous expression studies – a technical review

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1611-1623, 1 May 2023., 2023
Abstract figure legend Projects involving heterologous gene expression are often characterised by similar steps. Initially, database research (A) is necessary to retrieve information of full or partial sequences of a gene of interest. A multitude of genome assemblies are annotated and deposited in public databases or are available for refined search ...

Testing background matching and disruptive colouration in a sexually dichromatic grasshopper: a computer detection experiment

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 4, Page 258-267, April 2023., 2023
Cryptic colouration is an adaptative mechanism against predation. In a computer experiment, we analysed the cryptic effectiveness of male and female colour patterns of Sphenarium zapotecum (Orthoptera: Pyrogomorphidae) grasshoppers. Males were most disruptive and females had higher background matching.

Multi‐locus DNA metabarcoding reveals seasonality of foraging ecology of western spotted skunks in the Pacific Northwest

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract There are increasing concerns about the declining population trends of small mammalian carnivores around the world. Their conservation and management are often challenging due to limited knowledge about their ecology and natural history. To address one of these deficiencies for western spotted skunks (Spilogale gracilis), we investigated their
