In wing dimorphic insects, there exists a trade-off between dispersal and reproduction. The brachypterous or short-winged morph reproduces faster while the macropterous or long-winged morph is better able to colonize new habitats.

Rethinking the thermal melanism hypothesis: rearing temperature and coloration in pygmy grasshoppers
Selection for efficient conversion of solar radiation to body heat has favored theevolution of dark coloration in many ectotherms. The thermal melanism hypothesis positsthat dark coloration is beneficial under conditions of low ambient temperatures ...

Do polyandrous pygmy grasshopper females obtain fitness benefits for their offspring?
Explanations for polyandry in insects invoke material and genetic benefits that enhance female fitness via the production of more viable or more variable offspring. Here we use the color polymorphic pygmy grasshopper, Tetrix subulata, to evaluate effects

Multiple paternity increases phenotypic diversity in Tetrix subulata pygmy grasshoppers
Multiple paternity within clutches has been recorded among a variety of organisms. The degree of genetic similarity between parents may influence the number and viability of offspring. Females may therefore mate with several males as an insurance against
