Who is jumping in a Serbian bog? – Orthopteran fauna of the Vlasina region [PDF]
Vlasina Plateau is a highland bog situated in the mountains of southeastern Serbia, close to the border with Bulgaria. From a conservation point of view, bogs are one of the most important habitats and they are considered as threatened all across Europe.

DNA barcoding reveals polymorphism in the pygmy grasshopper Tetrix bolivari (Orthoptera, Tetrigidae). [PDF]
Many pygmy grasshopper species exhibit colour-marking polymorphism. However, this polymorphism in some species, such as Tetrix bolivari, is almost unknown. The aim of this work is to identify using DNA barcoding the colour-marking polymorphic morphs of this pygmy grasshopper species collected from both grass and sand microhabitats.

Endangered Pygmy Grasshoppers (Tetrigidae)
A short article on the subject of pygmy grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) is given, focused on the knowledge gathered on the subject of conservation until now. As pygmy grasshoppers are not a well- known group of animals, just a fraction of the species has had their IUCN status assigned and their natural habitat evaluated.

Pest categorisation of Diaprepes abbreviatus
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
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 ...

RAPID EVOLUTION OF FIRE MELANISM IN REPLICATED POPULATIONS OF PYGMY GRASSHOPPERS [PDF]
Evolutionary theory predicts an interactive process whereby spatiotemporal environmental heterogeneity will maintain genetic variation, while genetic and phenotypic diversity will buffer populations against stress and allow for fast adaptive evolution in rapidly changing environments.
