Phase change in locusts is an ideal model for studying the genetic architectures and
regulatory mechanisms associated with phenotypic plasticity. The recent development of …

The metabolic adaptations by which phloem-feeding insects counteract plant defense
compounds are poorly known. Two-component plant defenses, such as glucosinolates …

Chemical communication plays an important role in density‐dependent phase change in
locusts. However, the volatile components and emission patterns of the migratory locust …

Schistocerca gregaria exhibits a phase-specific behavior in response to crowding. Nymphs
occurring at low population densities (solitarious phase) tend to avoid one another, whereas …

Determining the factors governing investment in immunity is critical to understanding host–
pathogen ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Studies often consider disease resistance …

The desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) is a notorious swarm-forming agricultural pest
widely collected for its use as food and feed. Its ability to grow on tomato leaf waste as a sole …

From the earliest periods, the Egyptians represented foreigners in submissive positions, a
propagandist motif reflecting either true Egyptian domination or magic thinking meant to cast …

The mechanisms controlling egg diapause and circadian rhythms of hatching activity have
been extensively studied in insects. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the …

Synchronous hatching within single egg clutches is moderately common in locusts and other
insects and can be mediated by vibrational stimuli generated by adjacent embryos …

This thesis explores the locust imagery in the book of Joel to suggest a more helpful way to
classify the text. Scholars classify Joel as either prophetic, proto-apocalyptic, or apocalyptic …
