Structural Analysis of a Dragonfly Wing [PDF]
Dragonfly wings are highly corrugated, which increases the stiffness and strength of the wing significantly, and results in a lightweight structure with good aerodynamic performance.

Behavioral and physiological insights into cross-stage interactions in the desert locust
Gregarious desert locusts produce stage-specific pheromones that facilitate cohesive behavior in juveniles and synchronize maturation and mating in sexually mature adults.

La amebiasis debilitativa de los ortópteros y su potencial para el control biológico de acridios (Orthoptera: Acridoidea) en la Argentina [PDF]
Malameba locustae, el agente etiológico de la amebiasis debilitativa de los ortópteros, es causante de patologías en los tubos de Malpighi y alteraciones en la función excretora que llevan a disminuciones de vigor, longevidad y fecundidad del hospedador ...

Interactions between heat-induced chiasma frequency changes in Schistocerca gregaria [PDF]
Using inbred laboratory stocks of the locust Schistocerca gregaria, two experiments were carried out using composite heat-treatment programmes of 40 degrees C and 30 degrees C combinations. These were designed to superimpose different heat-induced increases and decreases in chiasma frequency, to determine what interactions would occur and which effects

Adipokinetic hormone enhances laminarin and bacterial lipopolysaccharide-induced activation of the prophenoloxidase cascade in the African migratory locust, Locusta migratoria [PDF]
Lom-AKH-I enhances the activation in vivo of prophenoloxidase in the haemolymph of the African migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, in response to challenge with laminarin.

Control of Head Movement in the Locust, Schistocerca Gregaria [PDF]
ABSTRACT Head movement in the locust Schistocerca gregaria is mediated by 14 pairs of muscles. The normal motor output to many of these muscles has been investigated in the intact insect by recording with two intracellular microelectrodes from different fibres of a muscle during slow and fast phases of optokinetic nystagmus elicited by ...
