Molecular phylogenetics illuminates the evolutionary history and hidden diversity of Australian cave crickets (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae)

Perry G. Beasley‐Hall, Steven A. Trewick, Stefan M. Eberhard…·Andrew D. Austin

This study uses phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear markers to reveal the evolutionary history and hidden diversity of Australian cave crickets, finding the fauna to be polyphyletic and identifying potential undescribed species.

Too much too many: comparative analysis of morabine grasshopper genomes reveals highly abundant transposable elements and rapidly proliferating satellite DNA repeats

Octavio Manuel Palacios-Gimenez, Julia Koelman, Marc Palmada‐Flores…·Alexander Suh

The paper analyzes the repeatome of four chromosomal races of Vandiemenella viatica grasshoppers, revealing high TE abundance and rapid satDNA proliferation contributing to large genome sizes.
