Hybrid Inspired Research on the Flying-Jumping Locomotion of Locusts Using Robot Counterpart
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2019 Locusts are a kind of agile insects that can move and maneuver so efficiently in the unstructured terrain and complex environment. This marvel survivability of locusts benefits from their flying-jumping multi-modal locomotion.

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

FOOD CONSUMPTION AND UTILISATION OF THE GRASSHOPPER CHROTOGONUS LUGUBRIS BLANCHARD (ORTHOPTERA, ACRIDOIDEA, PYRGOMORPHIDAE) AND ITS EFFECT ON THE EGG DEPOSITION [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2002 The grasshopper is found all the year round. It is considered as a pest for seedlings. The consumption index differed significantly between groups fed on different diets. Mated females consume more food than virgin females or virgin males.

Assaying Visual Memory in the Desert Locust
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

Interactions of delivery systems modulating the digestibility of plant‐based proteins
Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract Plant‐based proteins are gaining interest as sustainable alternatives to animal‐derived proteins, but their digestibility is often lower and strongly influenced by protein structure, processing history, and food‐matrix interactions. This review critically examines how emulsions, hydrogels, micro‐ and nanoparticles, micelles, liposomes ...

Annual and Seasonal Rainfall Variability in Mozambique During the Nineteenth Century
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This paper presents the first annually and seasonally resolved reconstructions of nineteenth‐century rainfall variability for Mozambique derived from the analysis of extensive documentary evidence. It reveals spatially heterogeneous rainfall patterns with recurrent multi‐year droughts, episodic extreme wet events, and a strong coherence between ...

Density-Dependent Phase Polyphenism in Nonmodel Locusts: A Minireview
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2011 Although the specific mechanisms of locust phase transformation are wellunderstood for model locust species such as the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria and the migratory locust Locusta migratoria, the expressions of density-dependent phase ...
