Energy localisation and frequency analysis in the locust ear [PDF]
, 2013 Animal ears are exquisitely adapted to capture sound energy and perform signal analysis. Studying the ear of the locust, we show how frequency signal analysis can be performed solely by using the structural features of the tympanum.

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.

A descriptive study of the annual mobility assessment
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics PlusBackground: Preclinical mobility limitations (PCML) begin with subtle changes that might not be perceived but often lead to loss of function. The newly developed Annual Mobility Assessment (AMA) was designed to identify PCML, but to date, there is no ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Host plant use is driven by microclimate not nutritional quality in a grassland butterfly
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Small Copper butterflies (Lycaena phlaeas) choose to lay eggs on host plants growing in warmer microclimates, despite lower nitrogen content. Bare ground created by European Moles increases host plant temperatures and weakens the negative relationship between nitrogen content and microclimatic warmth.

A primer of swarm equilibria [PDF]
, 2010 We study equilibrium configurations of swarming biological organisms subject to exogenous and pairwise endogenous forces. Beginning with a discrete dynamical model, we derive a variational description of the corresponding continuum population density ...
