Susceptibility to experimental infection of the invertebrate locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) with the apicomplexan parasite Neospora caninum [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Neuropathogenesis is a feature of Neospora caninum infection. In order to explore this in the absence of acquired host immunity to the parasite, we have tested infection in locusts (Schistocerca gregaria).

The use of edible insects in human food
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Anatomical Investigation Reveals a Second Olfactory System in Locusts
Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 8, August 2026.We traced chemosensory pathways from locust palps through the central nervous system. Olfactory input from basiconic sensilla targets the glomerular lobe and accessory calyx, whereas gustatory input is restricted to gnathal circuits. Thus, the palp and antennal olfactory pathways form parallel but separate systems.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We investigated whether adult sex ratio (ASR) induces transgenerational plasticity in the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus via germline transmission or behavioral parental investment. Although varying ASR treatments significantly altered parental contest and courtship behaviors, utilizing a novel egg‐transplantation protocol revealed no ASR‐induced ...

Control of Head Movement in the Locust, Schistocerca Gregaria [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1974 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 ...

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly recognized for their high nutritional value and favorable environmental profile, yet their acceptance (defined as the continuum from willingness to try and purchase to repeated consumption) in Western and globalized food systems remains limited by cultural, sensory, regulatory, and economic barriers.
