A journey towards an integrated understanding of behavioural phase change in locusts.

Journal of insect physiology - 1 Apr 2022

Simpson Stephen J

Abstract excerpt

Behavioural phase change initiates and functionally couples the suite of traits that comprise density-dependent polyphenism in locusts. Here I provide a semi-expurgated account of my 25-year research journey studying behavioural phase transition in the desert locust. The journey spans continents, involves a cast of extraordinary colleagues, and travels across levels of biological organisation from deep within the...
