Non-swarming grasshoppers exhibit density-dependent phenotypic plasticity reminiscent of swarming locusts.

Journal of insect physiology - 1 Nov 2013

Gotham Steven, Song Hojun

Abstract excerpt

Locusts are well known for exhibiting an extreme form of density-dependent phenotypic plasticity known as locust phase polyphenism. At low density, locust nymphs are cryptically colored and shy, but at high density they transform into conspicuously colored and gregarious individuals. Most of what we know about locust phase polyphenism come from the study of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål), which...
