Despite its large size, the protected predatory bush-cricket Saga pedo (Pallas, 1771) is difficult to study in field. This mainly due strong mimicry, prevalent night activity, and low population density. The aim of this was investigate spatial behavior some adult individuals through use luminescent tags recording their occurrences at night. monitored moved considerably during oviposition period...

Macroptery is common in many species of Orthoptera, but the causes are still discussed. Besides the assumption that macroptery is genetically determined, there is evidence that wing dimorphism is induced by environmental factors, particularly population density. However, most of the research is on pest species. In contrast, knowledge of wing dimorphism in species that occur at low population de...

The phylogenetic utility of mitochondrial genomes (mtgenomes) is examined using the framework of a preliminary phylogeny of Orthoptera. This study presents five newly sequenced genomes from four orthopteran families. While all ensiferan and polyneopteran taxa retain the ancestral gene order, all caeliferan lineages including the newly sequenced caeliferan species contain a tRNA rearrangement fr...

El género Conocephalus Thunberg, 1815 (Orthoptera: Conocephalinae) está representado por más de 151 especies distribuidas en todo el mundo. Para México se reportan seis especies: (Anisoptera) magdalenae, C. (A.) cinereus, ictus, strictus, resinus y (Aphauropus) leptopterus. La presencia crípticas este dificulta la delimitación nuevas especies, sin embargo, uso caracteres genitalia interna señal...
