Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 268-278, February 2026.ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can contribute to lower back and neck pain. In IDD, the most affected component of the intervertebral disc is the nucleus pulposus (NP). Derived from the notochord, where cells are organized into a tandem configuration, young NP cells cluster in three‐dimensional (3D) networks embedded in a gelatinous ...

The locust frontal ganglion: a central pattern generator network controlling foregut rhythmic motor patterns [PDF]
, 2002 The frontal ganglion (FG) is part of the insect stomatogastric nervous system and is found in most insect orders. Previous work has shown that in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, the FG constitutes a major source of innervation to the ...

Opsin expression, physiological characterization and identification of photoreceptor cells in the dorsal rim area and main retina of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria. [PDF]
, 2014 For compass orientation many insects rely on the pattern of sky polarization, but some species also exploit the sky chromatic contrast. Desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, detect polarized light through a specialized dorsal rim area (DRA) in their ...

Locusts on the Arabian Oil Commodity Frontier: Space, Territory and Ecology in the Extractive Zone
Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT In 1943, British authorities launched a major operation in Arabia against the desert locust. Considered a threat to food security, teams of troops patrolled the desert to search for the insect and lay poison. Based on British archive documents, I argue that these patrols played a role in the territorialisation of the oil commodity frontier as ...
