One hundred years of phase polymorphism research in locusts
HJ Pflüger, P Bräunig - Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2021 - Springer
One hundred years ago in 1921, Sir Boris Uvarov recognized that two locust species are
one species but appearing in two different phases, a solitarious and a gregarious phase. As …
