Comparative transcriptomics suggests a highly species-specific nature of the phenotypic plasticity associated with the outbreaks of the two main pest locusts [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics
Background Locust outbreaks cause devastation and provide material for fundamental research. They associate with a case of phenotypic plasticity whereby the shift between the two extremes of the polyphenism (i.e., gregarious phase versus solitarious ...

A general model of the thermal constraints on the world's most destructive locust, Schistocerca gregaria.

open access: yesEcological Applications, 2021
All terrestrial ectotherms are constrained to some degree by their thermal environment and the extent that they can behaviorally buffer variable thermal conditions.

Phase-dependent morphometric traits of the albino strain of Schistocerca gregaria (Orthoptera: Acrididae) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Orthoptera Research, 2017
Sugahara et al. (2017) reported that unlike the wild type, the albino strain of Schistocerca gregaria does not show phase-dependent shift in the morphometric ratio of F/C (= length of the hind femur/maximum width of the head [caput]). In contrast, my old,

Characterization of the complete mitogenome of brown-spotted locust, Cyrtacanthacris tatarica (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Cyrtacanthacridinae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
The complete mitochondrial genome of Cyrtacanthacris tatarica was firstly sequenced and analyzed. The circular mitogenome was 15,679 bp long, showing a bias of AT rich on the majority strand (42.34% of A, 29.99% of T, 11.19% of G, and 16.18% of C).

Preliminary larvicidal effect of seed oil from Cleome arabica L. on fifth instar larvae of Schistocerca gregaria (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

open access: yesActa Zoológica Lilloana, 2022
In this present study, the toxicity of Cleome arabica L. (Capparidaceae) seed oils was tested on L5 larvae of Schistocerca gregaria, Forsk. (Orthoptera-Acrididae). The forced administration of 60 ?L/individual of this vegetable oil leads to the death of

Replicated Differential Expression Analysis in a Green-Brown Polymorphic Grasshopper Reveals Role of Beta-Carotene-Binding Protein in Body Coloration. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ecol
ABSTRACT Orthoptera provide a well‐documented case of transspecies colour polymorphism, with green and brown morphs coexisting in many species. This colour polymorphism is likely under long‐term balancing selection, but the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the variation remain poorly understood.

Differential susceptibility of Locusta migratoria and Schistocerca gregaria (Orthoptera: Acrididae) to infection with entomopathogenic fungi

open access: yesВестник защиты растений, 2020
The migratory locust Locusta migratoria and the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria are widespread species deleterious for agriculture and numerous efforts are aimed at development of effective and ecologically safe means to control these pests. Testing
