Venation pattern and revision of Orthoptera sensu nov. and sister groups. Phylogeny of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic Orthoptera sensu nov.
- O. Béthoux, A. Nel
- Biology
- 14 November 2002
In this analysis the Orthoptera were not clearly affected by the Permo-Triassic biodiversity “crisis” and the relationships between Caelifera and Ensifera sensu nov., and those between the major clades of modern EnsiferA sensuNov.
An integrative phylogenomic approach illuminates the evolutionary history of cockroaches and termites (Blattodea)

The first nuclear phylogenomic study of termites and cockroaches with a thorough approach to divergence time analysis, identification of endosymbionts, and reconstruction of ancestral morphological traits and behaviour shows that most subgroups of Blattodea evolved in the Cretaceous.
Evidence for Carboniferous origin of the order Mantodea (Insecta: Dictyoptera) gained from forewing morphology
- O. Béthoux, F. Wieland
- Biology
- 1 May 2009
The homology statement implies that the total-group Mantodea arose as soon as the Late Carboniferous, i.e. about 175 million years earlier than previously estimated, suggesting a survivorship of several main Pterygota lineages at the end-Permian extinction event higher than previously expected.
Cnemidolestodea (Insecta): An ancient order reinstated
- O. Béthoux
- Biology
- 1 January 2005
This work has found the first evidence of the extinction of a high‐rank insect taxon at this period, and the hypothesis that insects experienced a faunal turnover from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Permian needs to be tested.
At last, a Pennsylvanian stem-stonefly (Plecoptera) discovered
- O. Béthoux, Y. Cui, B. Kondratieff, B. Stark, D. Ren
- BiologyBMC Evolutionary Biology
- 31 August 2011
Continuing efforts on the systematics of Pennsylvanian winged insects indicate a fauna more diverse than previously appreciated, which suggests that insects already had a long, yet undocumented, history by this time.
Some palaeozoic ‘protorthoptera’ are ‘ancestral’ orthopteroids: Major wing braces as clues to a new split among the ‘protorthoptera’ (Insecta)
- O. Béthoux, A. Nel
- Biology
- 1 January 2005
Carboniferous material assigned to Omalia macroptera, Protodiamphipnoagaudryi, Ischnoneura oustaleti, Narkeminopsis eddi Whalley, 1979 and Bouleites latipennis Lameere, 1917 are described or re‐describe and demonstrate the weakness of the previous specific, generic, familial and ordinal taxonomies.
Phylogenomic analysis sheds light on the evolutionary pathways towards acoustic communication in Orthoptera
- Hojun Song, O. Béthoux, Sabrina Simon
- BiologyNature Communications
- 2 October 2020
A large-scale macroevolutionary study to understand how both hearing and sound production evolved and affected diversification in the insect order Orthoptera, which includes many familiar singing insects, such as crickets, katydids, and grasshoppers finds little evidence that the evolution of hearing andSound producing organs increased diversification rates in those lineages with known acoustic communication.

Earliest Evidence of Insect Endophytic Oviposition
- O. Béthoux, J. Galtier, A. Nel
- Geography, Environmental Science
- 1 August 2004
The antiquity of the insect endophytic oviposition behavior suggests that it could have been important during the emergence and diversification of the insects group.
