Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.
Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.

Urban Tolerance of Orthoptera Is Strongly Related to National Red List Status and Population Trends

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Quantifying the extent to which a species can tolerate urban environments is crucial for prioritising conservation efforts. By using a large citizen science dataset, we analysed the species‐specific urban tolerance of Orthoptera and examined how urban tolerance relates to Red List category, population status and population trends ...

Ultrafast Adhesion/Friction Bidirectionally Switchable Control by Vibration

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 8, 26 January 2026.
Bioinspired gradient smooth architectures enable vibration‐switchable adhesion/friction with 62.02 kPa adhesion strength, 131.57 kPa shear strength, tilt angles ≥ 3°, roughness ≥ Ra 0.8 µm, 400 Hz antivibration robustness, and dual‐mode control. The synergy of geometry optimization and vibration modulation tuning bridges multidomain adaptability and ...

Comparative Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Arolium and Euplantulae in Medauroidea extradentata (Phasmatodea), Using In Vivo Atomic Force Microscopy, Supports Functional Specialization of both Types of Attachment Pads

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 19, October 6, 2025.
Stick insects use two different types of smooth attachment pads for locomotion, the pretarsal arolium for adhesion and tarsal euplantulae for friction. With atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements on these pads on living and conscious insects, this work demonstrates that each pad exhibits distinct material properties aligned with its function.

Rthoptera: Standardised insect bioacoustics in R

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1084-1094, June 2025.
Abstract Almost 100 years after the dawn of insect bioacoustics, freely available and robust analysis tools and protocols are still needed. We introduce Rthoptera, an open‐source R package designed for robust analysis of insect acoustic signals. It delivers accurate temporal and spectral measurements, along with intuitive visualisations, through a ...

Grassland nature reserves safeguard a high species richness and biomass of grasshoppers

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 11, Page 2739-2750, November 2024.
To preserve biodiversity in nature reserves, we recommend (i) leaving uncut refuges during mowing and (ii) blocking drainage to stabilise the water level. Both measures contribute to a high species number and abundance of grasshoppers and many other insects. An effective conservation measure to promote species richness in the wider countryside would be

Listening to the response of bat and bush‐cricket communities to management regimes of powerline clearings

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2024.
We recorded the acoustic activity underneath 35 powerline clearings in two French forests in 2021. Increased acoustic activity reveals increased movement opportunities for bats and enhanced habitat suitability for thermophilic bush‐cricket species. Integrated vegetation management (IVM) shows limited direct benefits for bat communities but fosters ...
