SUSCEPTIBILITY OF DESERT LOCUST, SCHISTOCERCA GREGARIA (ORTHOPTERA: ACRIDIDAE) TO BACILLUS CEREUS ISOLATED FROM EGYPT [PDF]
Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2018 Examination was done at preliminary bracketing bioassay on one old 4th nymphal instar of desert locust. Results showed that two isolates, namely NDL1 and NDL2 were having highly potentiality as entomopathogenic bioagents.

Digital particle image velocimetry measurements of the downwash distribution of a desert locust Schistocerca gregaria [PDF]
, 2006 Actuator disc models of insect flight are concerned solely with the rate of momentum transfer to the air that passes through the disc. These simple models assume that an even pressure is applied across the disc, resulting in a uniform downwash ...

Off-Shore Fly or Die Holograms for Desert Locust Swarms [PDF]
, 2020 A random walk search was conducted on academic papers to find a method for ecological combat of desert locust. Relatedness of papers and concepts were mainly analysed with the core idea of “Fighting Rooster” vs “Desert Locust “ interspecies competition ...

Assaying Visual Memory in the Desert Locust [PDF]
Insects, 2015 The involvement of associative learning cues has been demonstrated in several stages of feeding and food selection. Short neuropeptide F (sNPF), an insect neuropeptide whose effects on feeding behavior have previously been well established, may be one of the factors bridging feeding and learning behavior.

Spatial scales of desert locust gregarization [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 Central to swarm formation in migratory locusts is a crowding-induced change from a “solitarious” to a “gregarious” phenotype. This change can occur within the lifetime of a single locust and accrues across generations. It represents an extreme example of phenotypic plasticity.
