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

Developing and Applying RNA Empirical Models With Secondary Structure Insights for Orthoptera Phylogenetics. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn the RNA secondary structure, paired regions experience stronger natural selection pressure than unpaired regions and are characterized by a higher density of coevolutionary sites. The empirical RNA evolutionary model that fully incorporates all base pairings can generate more reliable phylogenetic relationships.

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 64-76, February 2023., 2023 Abstract The baseline distribution data for all species of a given group in a region can provide fundamental insights into biogeographic questions about historic patterns of species richness, population trends and extinction. Grasshoppers are one major group of insects for which a continent‐wide perspective on their geographic distribution can be ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 A small change in salinity (5‰ vs 7‰) cause total turnover of wolf spider species composition. Wolf spider diets do not vary between species. Wolf spider diets differ between sites with or without a thick wrack bed. Abstract Wolf spiders are typically the most common group of arthropod predators on both lake and marine shorelines because of the high ...

The terrestrial and semi‐aquatic invertebrates of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams
Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 4, Page 1408-1425, August 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which cease flow and/or dry at some point, are the most abundant waterways on earth, and are found on every continent. They can support a diverse, and often abundant, terrestrial and semi‐aquatic invertebrate (TSAI) fauna, which has been poorly explored due to its position at the fringe between

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 13, Page 4027-4040, July 2022., 2022 The specialization of phytophagous insects changes along climatic gradients, but empirical evidence of how the phylogeny and availability of resources modulate herbivore specialization is scarce. We surveyed plant and orthopteran assemblages on 41 grasslands and reconstructed dietary relationships using metabarcoding of fecal samples and feeding ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...
