The Orchestra Nocturne: Description For Six New Katydid Species From India (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae).

The paper describes six new species from three genera of Tettigoniidae. The paper evaluates the status of Hexacentrus Serville 1831, Phyllomimus Stl 1873 and Euconocephalus Karny 1907. Diagnostic characters for new members of each genus are described along with additional information about the ecology and distribution of species.

Delineating the calling pattern of from native and non-native plant species.

The study attempted to understand the effect of the host plants on the call parameters of native tree cricket, (Order: Orthoptera, Sub-order: Ensifera, Family: Gryllidae) while calling from native () and non-native host plant species ( and ). The study was conducted at four locations across India. Calls of were recorded on these host plants in the field and spectral and temporal parameters of calls were analysed.

Description of two new species of the Genus Ducetia Stål 1874 (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) from India.

In the present paper the genus Ducetia Stål 1874 in India is reviewed. The diagnostic characters for two new species of Ducetia Stål 1874, D. assamica sp.

Arbuscular mycorrhizas amplify the risk of heavy metal transfer to human food chain from fly ash ameliorated agricultural soils.

Soil contaminants threaten global food security by posing threats to food safety through food chain pollution. Fly ash is a potential agent of soil contamination that contains heavy metals and hazardous pollutants. However, being rich in macro- and micronutrients that have direct beneficial effects on plant growth, fly ash has been recommended as a low-cost soil ameliorant in agriculture in countries of the Global South.

Investigating host plant association, calling activity, and sexual dimorphism in Indian sp. (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae).

Both sexes of Indian weta sp. communicate acoustically. Females lack an external ovipositor making it difficult to differentiate between the sexes in the field.
