Desert locust outbreaks in the Sahel: resource competition, predation and ecological effects of pest control

2007-04-01

Abstract excerpt

1. The desert locust Schistocerca gregaria has been considered a major pest since ancient times, as locust swarms holding millions of insects move throughout the Sahel, northern Africa, Middle East and southern Mediterranean countries. Most research has focused on the biology of the species and the development of strategies in locust control, but little is known about the place of locust pulses within food webs in...
