Eggs and hatchlings variations in desert locusts: phase related characteristics and starvation tolerance [PDF]
, 2013 Locusts are grasshopper species that express phase polyphenism: modifying their behavior, morphology, coloration, life history and physiology in response to crowding.

Effects of FABP knockdown on flight performance of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019 During migratory flight, desert locusts rely on fatty acids as their predominant source of energy. Lipids mobilized in the fat body are transported to the flight muscles and enter the muscle cells as free fatty acids.

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review
Food Frontiers, EarlyView.Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Acta Zoológica Lilloana, 2020 Hace algunas décadas, Schistocerca cancellata paranensis (Burm.) mostraba todas sus fases aparentemente bien definidas. Actualmente, no alcanza la fase gregaria, probablemente por el estricto control de sus poblaciones; según las condiciones imperantes,

RNAi efficiency, systemic properties, and novel delivery methods for pest insect control : what we know so far [PDF]
, 2016 In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi efficiency that is observed in many insects, the development of novel approaches

The use of edible insects in human food
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.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 ...

The role of visual and mechanosensory cues in structuring forward flight in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2007 It has long been known that many flying insects use visual cues to orient with respect to the wind and to control their groundspeed in the face of varying wind conditions.

Regulatory mechanisms of reproduction in locusts and grasshoppers
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Regulatory networks composed of numerous coding and noncoding genes play crucial roles in the reproduction of locusts and grasshoppers. This review integrates mechanistic advances in reproductive regulation, highlighting environmentally adaptive pathways and providing prospective targets for eco‐friendly pesticides.

Dynamic flight stability in the desert locustSchistocerca gregaria [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003 SUMMARYHere we provide the first formal quantitative analysis of dynamic stability in a flying animal. By measuring the longitudinal static stability derivatives and mass distribution of desert locusts Schistocerca gregaria, we find that their static stability and static control responses are insufficient to provide asymptotic longitudinal dynamic ...
