Associative olfactory learning in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2011 SUMMARY Locusts can learn associations between olfactory stimuli and food rewards, and use the acquired memories to choose between foods according to their nutrient requirements. They are a model system for both the study of olfactory coding and insect nutritional regulation.
