Solitary and gregarious locusts differ in circadian rhythmicity of a visual output neuron.

Journal of biological rhythms - 1 Jun 2012

Gaten Edward, Huston Stephen J, Dowse Harold B, Matheson Tom

Abstract excerpt

Locusts demonstrate remarkable phenotypic plasticity driven by changes in population density. This density dependent phase polyphenism is associated with many physiological, behavioral, and morphological changes, including observations that cryptic solitarious (solitary-reared) individuals start to fly at dusk, whereas gregarious (crowd-reared) individuals are day-active. We have recorded for 24-36 h, from an...
