Crepitation in Schistocerca americana (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

Journal of Orthoptera Research, 1996
Schistocerca americana males were found to crepitate during interactions with other males in the field. More research will need to be Otte (1970) compiled observations on the mating behavior of approximately 100 species of grasshoppers. The mating behavior of Schistocerca lineata (Scudder) is the only member of its genus treated.

Plasticity in climate change responses

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2508-2527, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...

Chromosome study in Schistocerca (Orthoptera-Acrididae-Cyrtacanthacridinae): karyotypes and distribution patterns of constitutive heterochromatin and nucleolus organizer regions (NORs)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
Chromosome analyses were performed in two grasshopper species of the genus Schistocerca, S. pallens and S. flavofasciata. Both species shared the same diploid number (2n = 23, X in males; 2n = 24, XX in females);and a conserved karyotype composed ...

Insects as Food and Feed Source: A Comprehensive Review on Nutritional Value, Food Safety Concern, Environmental Benefits, Economic Potential, Technological Innovations, Challenges, and Future Prospects

Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2591-2646, November 2025.
Edible insects offer a sustainable protein source, requiring fewer resources than traditional livestock. Despite challenges, they have the potential to enhance food security and sustainability for a growing global population. ABSTRACT As the world faces an escalating protein crisis amid climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity, edible ...

The role of developmental plasticity in eco‐phenotypic population dynamics

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2985-2998, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Individual variation in development can strongly impact population density via its impact on demography. When this variation in development is caused by developmental plasticity, the resulting effects on population density are characterised as ‘eco‐phenotypic dynamics ...

Investigating Social Immunity in Swarming Locusts via a Triple Animal–Robot–Pathogen Hybrid Interaction

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study explores social immunity in gregarious locusts using a groundbreaking animal–robot–pathogen interaction model. By comparing locust responses to biomimetic agents mimicking healthy and infected individuals, significant behavioral changes are revealed.

Advances in Invertebrate Biohybrid Robotics: Leveraging Nature for Locomotion and Sensing in Engineered Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2025.
This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,
