Orthopteran research

• Putative liomopterid Alekhosara reticulata is reinterpreted as a possible locustavid caeliferan, and thus possibly the oldest known caeliferan, by Aristov & Gorochov (2022).
• Evidence of the presence of the earliest tympanal ears and sound-producing system in exceptionally preserved Mesozoic katydids, interpreted as indicating that katydids evolved a high diversity of singing frequencies at least by the Late Triassic, and complex acoustic communication at least by the Middle Jurassic, is presented by Xu et al. (2022).

Dictyopteran research

• An assemblage of specimens of Subioblatta madygenica, with several specimens preserving the coloration on wings, is described from the Triassic Madygen Formation (Kyrgyzstan) by Hinkelman (2022).
• Probable termite coprolites with different proportions are described from the Lower Cretaceous Huolinhe Formation (Huolinhe Basin, China) by Dong et al. (2022), who interpret this finding as indicating that the Early Cretaceous termites from the Huolinhe Basin had wood-feeding habits, and suggesting that the division of labor among termites already existed in the Early Cretaceous.
• Borings filled with coprolites similar to those produced by extant termites belonging to the family Kalotermitidae are described from silicified conifer woods from the Albian Kachaike Formation (Argentina) by Greppi et al. (2022), who interpret the presence of kalotermitids as indicative of arid climatic conditions.

General research

• A study on the diversity dynamics of insects during the Permian and Triassic is published by Jouault et al. (2022), who find a pattern with three extinctions at the Roadian/Wordian, Permian/Triassic and Ladinian/Carnian boundaries, assess the effect of diversity changes between three or four guilds (herbivores, predators, detritivores/fungivores and generalists), and attempt to determine the factors influencing insect diversification dynamics throughout the Permian and Triassic.
• Conspecific aggregations of insects (dermapterans, neuropterans, orthopterans) and springtails are described from the Cretaceous Burmese amber by Hörnig et al. (2022), who attempt to determine whether these fossils could represent evidence of social behaviour.
• A flat wasp female preserved grasping and possibly stinging a beetle is described from the Cretaceous Burmese amber by Kiesmüller et al. (2022).
