Increased diversity: descriptions of new species and new distributional records of Bephrata (Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae) from the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest [PDF]

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia
This study focuses on the parasitoid wasps of the genus BephrataCameron, 1884 (Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae). Existing evidence suggests that these insects act as parasitoids of eggs of species of Tettigoniidae.

Landscape heterogeneity and pesticide reduction favor predation, but also grape infestation by Lobesia botrana

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 4, June 2025.
Abstract Biological pest control is a major ecosystem service and is known to depend on landscape heterogeneity. The composition and configuration of landscapes can affect natural enemy communities, trophic interactions, and pest density within agroecosystems.

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 ...

Robot‐Aided Measurement of Insect Diversity on Vegetation Using Environmental DNA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
We 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 ...

Animal transparency: How should we define form and function?

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 929-941, April 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals use colour for a wide range of adaptive functions, ranging from cryptic colours that blend into their environments to bright, conspicuous signals that convey information, either to attract mates or to ward off predators and rivals.

Lack of correlation between vertical distribution and carrier frequency, and preference for open spaces in arboreal katydids that use extreme ultrasound, in Gorgona, Colombia (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
Los machos de Tettigoniidae producen sonido frotando las alas anteriores para atraer a sus hembras coespecíficas con fines reproductivos (mecanismo conocido como estridulación).

First report of Polysarcus denticauda (Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) from Iran and its bioacoustic characteristics [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2015
In 2013, during a bioacoustic investigation upon bushcrickets (Orthoptera, Ensifera) in Azarbaijan-e Sharghi, north-west of Iran, some ensiferans were collected in Azarshahr and identified as Polysarcus denticauda (Charpentier, 1825) (Tettigoniidae ...

Inferring long‐distance movements of insects using combined hydrogen isotope and genetic analyses: A case study of the African edible bush‐cricket

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 299-310, April 2025.
The African edible bush cricket, Ruspolia differens, is a delicacy and valuable source of nutrition in East Africa, yet the geographic origins of the swarms are poorly understood. Based on the hydrogen isotopes, most individuals (77% non‐swarming adults, 85% swarming adults) originate locally, suggesting that conservation efforts should aim to ...
