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

Two new host records for Centrodora italica Ferrière (Hymenoptera, Aphelinidae) from eggs of Tettigoniidae (Orthoptera, Ensifera) in northeastern Italy [PDF]
The egg parasitoid Centrodora italica Ferrière is reported for the first time from sentinel eggs of two species of Tettigoniidae (Orthoptera), Pachytrachis gracilis (Brunner von Wattenwyl) and Eupholidoptera schmidti (Fieber). In Italy, only two hosts of

Identifying Key Biodiversity Areas Based on Distinct Genetic Diversity. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. Distinct genetic diversity has been introduced as one of the metrics to estimate whether a site holds a threshold proportion of a species' global genetic diversity during the KBA identification process.

The genome sequence of the oak bush-cricket, Meconema thalassinum (De Geer, 1773) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
We present a genome assembly from one male Meconema thalassinum (the oak bush-cricket; Arthropoda; Insecta; Orthoptera; Tettigoniidae). The genome sequence is 9,039.1 megabases in span.

New and little known taxa of the genus Calopsyra Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891 (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) from Indo-Malayan Region [PDF]
A new material on the Indo-Malayan genus Сalopsyra Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891 from the tribe Holochlorini is reviewed. This genus is divided into three subgenera: Calopsyra s. str., Parapsyra Carl, 1914, stat. n.

Two endemic genera of large tettigoniids are found in the Canary Islands and Madeira, which are morphologically similar to the genus Tettigonia. In this study, the karyotypes of representatives of the Glyphonotini genera Calliphona and Psalmatophanes are

Social wasps capture adult and/or immature insects to feed their larvae. Frequent observations indicate mainly small or immature insects as their prey. However, there are very few records of social wasps as predators of larger living insects. Herein, we

Bush crickets are a model group for testing hypotheses in sexual selection, but much of the information is based on laboratory observations on wingless or short-winged species, which may restrict their generality.
