Many insects are capable of developing into either long-winged or short-winged (or
wingless) morphs, which enables them to rapidly match heterogeneous environments. Thus …

Significant advances in biophysical methods such as next-generation sequencing
technologies have now opened the way to conduct evolutionary and applied research …

Migration is a key life history strategy for many animals and requires a suite of behavioural,
morphological and physiological adaptations which together form the 'migratory syndrome' …

In many insect taxa, there is a well‐established trade‐off between flight capability and
reproduction. The wing types of Acridoidea exhibit extremely variability from full length to …

Thanks to the fast development of sequencing techniques and bioinformatics tools,
sequencing the genome of an insect species for specific research purposes has become an …

Highlights•Transcriptomic datasets, genome assemblies, and gene annotations have
recently been published for different orthopteran species.•Functional genomics studies …

In insects, the loss of flight typically involves a dispersal-reproduction transition, but the
underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In the parthenogenetic pea …

To develop genetic resources for the improvement of insects as food, we sequenced
transcripts from embryos, one-day hatchlings, three nymphal stages, and male and female …

Wing polyphenisms are found in a diversity of insect species. These insects are
characterized by their ability to produce multiple, discrete, alternate morphologies based on …

Highlights•The trade-off between reproduction and migration is controlled by endocrine
signals.•Wing polyphenism depends on interactions between endocrine and cell signaling …
