Respiration in the Desert Locust [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1960
ABSTRACT Normal (dorso-ventral) and three auxiliary ventilating mechanisms (neck, prothoracic and abdominal longitudinal) are described in the non-flying Schistocerca gregaria. Neck and prothoracic ventilation together contribute 14% of the maximum volume of air pumped by the insect.

Density–dependent aposematism in the desert locust

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000
The ecological processes underlying locust swarm formation are poorly understood. Locust species exhibit phenotypic plasticity in numerous morphological, physiological and behavioural traits as their population density increases. These density-dependent changes are commonly assumed to be adaptations for migration under heterogeneous environmental ...

Assessing Agronomic Practices and Constraints of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) Production in Semiarid Areas of the West Hararghe Zone, Eastern Ethiopia

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pearl millet is widely regarded as one of the most promising cereal crops for food and nutritional security in semiarid regions globally. However, it has long been considered an orphan crop due to limited attention from the scientific community and policymakers, as well as low public awareness of its potential role within the food system. Consequently,
