Multi-Locus Nuclear Marker Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Swiss Orthoptera Unveils Conservation Status Limitations. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT 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 ...

Reassessment of the Phylogenetics of Two Pygmy Grasshopper Generic Groups Tetrix and Systolederus through Mitochondrial Phylogenomics Using Four New Mitochondrial Genome Assemblies [PDF]

Insects
Mitochondrial genomes offer pragmatic genetic markers to reconstruct evolutionary relationships and inform taxonomic classifications. Here, we present complete mitochondrial sequences for four Chinese pygmy grasshoppers (Tetrigidae), aiming to reevaluate

New estimates of genome size in Orthoptera and their evolutionary implications. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Animal genomes vary widely in size, and much of their architecture and content remains poorly understood. Even among related groups, such as orders of insects, genomes may vary in size by orders of magnitude-for reasons unknown.

Two species? – Limits of the species concepts in the pygmy grasshoppers of the Tetrix bipunctata complex (Orthoptera, Tetrigidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2021
Today, integrative taxonomy is often considered the gold standard when it comes to species recognition and delimitation. Using the Tetrix bipunctata complex, we here present a case where even integrative taxonomy may reach its limits.

Comparative phylotranscriptomics of four sympatric tetrigids provides implications for convergent evolution and morphological discordance [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background The classification of pygmy grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) has historically relied on morphological traits that are prone to homoplasy, leading to persistent taxonomic instability, particularly at the Scelimeninae-Tetriginae subfamily ...

Evolutionary dynamics of repetitive elements and genome size in Tetrigidae (Orthoptera: Caelifera) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Repetitive elements (REs), involving both satellite DNA (satDNA) and transposable elements (TEs), significantly influence the evolutionary dynamics of the host genome.

Mitochondrial genomes of eight Scelimeninae species (Orthoptera) and their phylogenetic implications within Tetrigoidea [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Scelimeninae is a key member of the pygmy grasshopper community, and an important ecological indicator. No mitochondrial genomes of Scelimeninae have been reported to date, and the monophyly of Scelimeninae and its phylogenetic relationship within ...

On the specific status of Scelimena spicupennis and a new record of S. discalis from China with mitochondrial genome characterization (Orthoptera, Tetrigidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2023
The genus Scelimena Serville (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) from China is reviewed. One species, Scelimena spicupennis Zheng &amp; Ou, 2003 (China: Yunnan) is redescribed, and a new record of Scelimena discalis (Hancock, 1915) from China is given.
