In many arthropods, such as bushcrickets, males donate protein-rich nuptial gifts-so-called spermatophores-to females, which females ingest while the sperm enter the female's reproductive tract.

We investigated whether female bushcrickets fuel their metaboli...

Obolopteryx truncoangulata n. sp., Barrientos-Lozano & Rocha-Sánchez, and a field collected conspecific gynandromorph are described, both from the northern Mexico's Highland. O. truncoangulata n. sp., may be separated from congeneric O. brevihastata based on morphological characters. The male's pronotum is more constricted mesally, and the tegmina are shorter. The disto-dorsal abdominal tergite...
