CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knockout of the Corazonin Gene Indicates Its Regulation on the Cuticle Development of Desert Locusts (Schistocerca gregaria)

Insects
The desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) represents one of the most destructive agricultural pests globally, renowned for its ability to form massive swarms that can devastate crops and threaten food security across vast regions.

Density-Dependent Phase Polyphenism in Nonmodel Locusts: A Minireview

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2011
Although the specific mechanisms of locust phase transformation are wellunderstood for model locust species such as the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria and the migratory locust Locusta migratoria, the expressions of density-dependent phase ...

Inferring on innate locust behavior with individual based models and an information criteria [PDF]

, 2014
Locusts are grasshopper species that change behaviour, physiology, morphology and life history in response to crowding. This extreme form of phenotypic plasticity is called phase polyphenism.

Functional characterization of the short neuropeptide F receptor in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Whereas short neuropeptide F (sNPF) has already been reported to stimulate feeding behaviour in a variety of insect species, the opposite effect was observed in the desert locust.

Utilisation du SIG et des données de télédétection pour caractériser les zones de forte occurrence des criquets pèlerins

Revue Marocaine des Sciences Agronomiques et Vétérinaires, 2017
The Desert Locust is one of the most important species because it is very mobile and it covers large areas of invasion. It represents a major threat to agriculture in Morocco.

Predicting the impact of climate change on desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) breeding areas using an ensemble model: A case study of the Wabe Shebelle River Basin, Ethiopia

Environmental Challenges
Desert locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) pose a significant threat to arid and semi-arid regions due to their rapid reproduction, long-distance migration, and potential to devastate environmental resources.

Desert locust management: from ecology to anthropology

Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2005
Abstract Plague locusts are a major problem in many developing countries. For the desert locust, control by a preventive strategy proved effective, and led to a dramatic decrease in outbreak frequency and duration over the last 40 y. Principal problems are now of an organizational nature.
