Regressions Fit for Purpose: Models of Locust Phase State Must Not Conflate Morphology With Behaviour

2017-08-10

Abstract excerpt

Locusts are defined by their capacity to transform between two very distinct integrated phenotypes or ‘phases’ in response to changes in population density: a solitarious phase, which occurs when densities are low, and a gregarious phase, which arises as a consequence of crowding and can form very large and economically damaging swarms. The two phases differ fundamentally in their behaviour, physiology and morphol...
