The grassy ecosystems of Madagascar in context: Ecology, evolution, and conservation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 94-115, January 2024.
Madagascar is famous for its unique forests and their fauna. Most of the island is covered by flammable grassy ecosystems long considered to be of human origin and threatening the remaining forests. Yet new studies show that many plants and animals of the grassy systems are unique to Madagascar and restricted to these open habitats.

Molecular strategies of the pygmy grasshopper Eucriotettix oculatus adapting to long-term heavy metal pollution

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
To study the heavy metal accumulation and its impact on insect exterior and chromosome morphology, and reveal the molecular mechanism of insects adapting to long-term heavy metal compound pollution habitats, this study, in the Diaojiang river basin ...

Study of the Acute Toxicity of Scorpion Leiurus macroctenus Venom in Rats

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background. The expansion of the territory of human habitation leads to inevitable interference in the natural range of distribution of one or another species of animals, some of which may be dangerous for human life. Scorpions—the Arachnida class and order Scorpiones—can be considered as such typical representatives.

No evidence for developmental plasticity of colour patterns in response to rearing substrate in pygmy grasshoppers

, 2009
Color polymorphisms in animals may result from genetic polymorphisms, developmental plasticity, or a combination where some phenotypic components are under strong genetic control and other aspects are influenced by developmental plasticity. Understanding

Phenotype manipulation influences microhabitat choice in pygmy grasshoppers

Current Zoology, 2012
The matching habitat choice hypothesis posits that individuals actively choose those microhabitats that best match their specific phenotype to maximize fitness.
