Nontarget catches of traps with chemical lures may refer to the flower-visitation, probable pollination, and feeding of bush crickets (Ensifera: Tettigoniidae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The flower visitation and host plant preference of seven temperate zone Tettigoniidae species were studied during the development of traps with chemical lures. Large numbers of Orthoptera were caught, providing an opportunity for analysis. Based on data from chemical lures and nature photos, the studied Orthoptera species mainly visit Asteraceae ...

Robot-Aided Measurement of Insect Diversity on Vegetation Using Environmental DNA. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe developed a novel method combining drone‐based sampling and environmental DNA (eDNA) with Oxford Nanopore sequencing to monitor insect biodiversity on vegetation. Using a DJI Matrice 3 drone, we collected eDNA samples from grassland, shrub and forest habitats in Switzerland, detecting 64 insect taxa and revealing habitat‐specific differences in ...

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.

Commodity risk assessment of Malus domestica plants from Bosnia and Herzegovina
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High‐risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by bare root plants of Malus domestica grafted on ...

Animal Conservation, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 174-188, April 2023., 2023 We investigated during four successive breeding seasons whether the anthropization level, assessed by infrastructure density around nests, and the harvesting conditions around nests may impact physiological, behavioural and life‐history traits of Montagu's harrier Circus pygargus chicks. We found that chicks may be impacted by human disturbance even if

Strong negative effects of recent wildfires on two endemic Macaronesian bush‐crickets
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 243-253, March 2023., 2023 Populations of two endemic, silvicolous bush‐crickets from the Macaronesian Islands declined as a consequence of recent wildfires. The effects of two large wildfires on Gran Canaria were more detrimental than the effects of smaller wildfires on Madeira, which were recolonised after 10 years.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 170, Issue 10, Page 895-901, October 2022., 2022 Grasshoppers (Orthoptera, suborders Ensifera and Caelifera) are often collected as model organisms in ecological studies by using different methods. We tested the efficiency of two methods for assessing grasshopper species richness and assemblages on mountainous meadows in the Austrian Alps.

Summer drought affects abundance of grassland grasshoppers differently along an elevation gradient
Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 778-790, October 2022., 2022 Summer temperature was the key driver of grasshopper abundance. Abundance was lowest in grasslands that were situated at lower elevations with higher summer temperatures and that were characterised by the strongest effects of summer drought. Suitable conservation strategies that increase the resistance and resilience of temperate semi‐natural ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 1795-1809, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Biodiversity loss is a major global challenge. While population trends of vertebrates are well documented, insect declines have not been sufficiently studied. We aim to identify changes in Orthoptera assemblages and the underlying drivers with a focus on land‐use and climate change. Location Central Europe.
