Animal genomes vary widely in size, and much of their architecture and content remains
poorly understood. Even among related groups, such as orders of insects, genomes may …

DNA barcoding often fails to identify species despite its undisputed advantages.
Hybridization, sample contamination, incomplete lineage sorting and nuclear copies of …

The evolution of several orthopteran groups, especially within the grasshopper family
Acrididae, remains poorly understood. This is particularly true for the subfamily …

Whole mitochondrial genomes have been widely used in phylogenetic analysis, population
genetics and biogeography studies. This study sequenced and characterized three …

Mitochondrial gene order has contributed to the elucidation of evolutionary relationships in
several animal groups. It generally has found its application as a phylogenetic marker for …

The evolution of the calling songs in Gomphocerinae was evaluated via estimating a
phylogenetic signal of the song characters and an ancestral character state reconstruction …

Simple Summary We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of
Gryllotalpa henana Cai & Niu, 1998 and the Chinese G. orientalis Burmeister, 1838 for the …

Hochkirch et al.(2023) recently published a phylogeny of the band-winged grasshopper
genus Oedipoda. Using three mitochondrial and one nuclear loci, they estimated the …

Simple Summary Grasshopper species of the Stenobothrini tribe are known by the wide
diversity of their premating traits, such as acoustic behavior and morphological characters …

Discussion We argue both conclusions should be considered preliminary, based upon the
following reasoning. The tribe Gomphocerini Fieber, 1853 includes the following genera …
