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.

Environmental Adaptation, Phenotypic Plasticity, and Associative Learning in Insects: The Desert Locust as a Case Study [PDF]
, 2016 The ability to learn and store information should be adapted to the environment in which animals operate to confer a selective advantage. Yet the relationship between learning, memory, and the environment is poorly understood, and further complicated by ...

Field verification of the prediction model on Desert Locust adult phase status from density and vegetation [PDF]
, 2016 Previous studies investigated the effect of vegetation on density thresholds of adult Desert Locust gregarization from historical data in Mauritania. We examine here the prediction of locust phase based on adult density and vegetation conditions using ...

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.

Operational Early Warning System Using SPOT-VEGETATION and TERRA-MODIS to Predict Desert Locust Outbreaks [PDF]
, 2005 The Desert Locust (Schistocerca gregaria) is an insect whose distribution area extends from North Africa through the Near East to Southwest Asia. During invasion periods, adults form swarms that can fly or be carried by wind over great distances.
