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 ...

A "Dark-Adult" Mutation of Schistocerca gregaria (Forsk.)

Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2000
A dark mutant ofSchistocerca gregaria, which appeared in a laboratory colony, is described. In this mutant, the coloration of the nymphs is similar to that of the normal phenotype and only the adults become dark a few days after fledging. The mutant is named, therefore, as "dark-adult". Crossing experiments demonstrated that this mutation is controlled

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 ...

Distinct Subfamilies of Odorant Binding Proteins in Locust (Orthoptera, Acrididae): Molecular Evolution, Structural Variation, and Sensilla-Specific Expression

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) play an important role in insect olfaction, facilitating transportation of odorant molecules in the sensillum lymph. While most of the researches are concentrated on Lepidopteran and Dipteran species, our knowledge about ...

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 ...

Phylogeny of locusts and grasshoppers reveals complex evolution of density-dependent phenotypic plasticity

Scientific Reports, 2017
Locusts are grasshoppers that can form dense migrating swarms through an extreme form of density-dependent phenotypic plasticity, known as locust phase polyphenism.

Cartographie des zones de reproduction et de grégarisation du criquet pèlerin au Tchad

Cahiers Agricultures, 2020
Le criquet pèlerin, Schistocerca gregaria Forskål, 1775, est un ravageur majeur pour l’agriculture. Affiner les connaissances sur sa distribution spatiale est essentiel pour sa gestion préventive. Dans ce but, nous avons utilisé au Tchad une technique de
