Unexpected Evolutionary Divergence of Tachykinin-Positive Neurons Innervating the Central Complex in Hexapods. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolThe central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.

Multi-Locus Nuclear Marker Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Swiss Orthoptera Unveils Conservation Status Limitations. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT With accelerating biodiversity loss, tracking both inter‐ and intraspecific diversity is critical, as within‐species variation underpins population viability and adaptive potential. We developed a new multi‐locus framework, and obtained an Orthoptera‐specific marker panel targeting 398 nuclear loci plus the mitogenome and ribosomal DNA to ...
