A monitoring system for preventive control of Desert Locust in West Africa [PDF]

, 2010
Agricultural pests like the Desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål 1775), often migrate across borders and cause major losses and emergencies. In the past, such damage often led to famines and sometimes triggered trade restrictions.

Efficiency of Lift Production in Flapping and Gliding Flight of Swifts [PDF]

, 2014
Many flying animals use both flapping and gliding flight as part of their routine behaviour. These two kinematic patterns impose conflicting requirements on wing design for aerodynamic efficiency and, in the absence of extreme morphing, wings cannot be ...

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

The Application of Earth Observation Data to Desert Locust Risk Management: A Literature Review

Geomatics
The desert locust is documented as one of the most destructive polyphagous plant pests that require preventive or proactive management practices due to its phase polyphenism, rapid breeding, transnational migration, and heavy feeding behaviour.

Predicting suitable breeding areas for different locust species – A multi-scale approach accounting for environmental conditions and current land cover situation

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2022
In this study, we present a fused multi-scale approach to model habitat suitability index (HSI) maps for three different locust species. The presented methodology was applied for the Italian locust (Calliptamus italicus, CIT) in Pavlodar oblast, Northern
