Locust flight
Under certain environmental and population conditions some species (the locusts) of Acridid Orthoptera swarm and are capable of migrating hundreds of miles using flight as the primary means of locomotion. Locust flight is a behavior that lends itself to analysis from many approaches and that has attracted considerable research attention for many years. In particular the role of the nervous syst...

In the October and November numbers for 1872, is an article on "locusts,"?a plague as I think becoming more constant than formerly, even in the sandy semi-desert districts of Western Rajpootana, a tract of country which may be regarded as par excellence the home of the locust. In that article it was stated that locusts are annually present in the Western Marwar and Mullannee districts in greate...
متن کاملHopper Bands: Locust Aggregation
Locust swarms cause famine and hunger in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa as they travel across croplands and eat vegetation. Current models start with biological properties of locusts and analyze the macroscopic behavior of the system. These models exhibit the desired migratory behavior, but do so with too many parameters. To account for this, a new model, the Alignment and Intermittent Motion (AIM...
متن کاملGht in the Locust
after deviatio extensions of the contralate position (Get 1970; Arbas, (Camhi, 1970 (Zarnack and Möhl, 1977; Taylor, 1981b; Thüring, 1986; Schmidt and Zarnack, 1987) and compensatory head rolling (Camhi, 1970; Hensler, 1988; Robert and Rowell, 1992) are also involved in flight steering. The motor system of hindleg ruddering has only been grossly described, whereas the motor system which produce...
متن کاملVisual Coding in Locust Photoreceptors
Information capture by photoreceptors ultimately limits the quality of visual processing in the brain. Using conventional sharp microelectrodes, we studied how locust photoreceptors encode random (white-noise, WN) and naturalistic (1/f stimuli, NS) light patterns in vivo and how this coding changes with mean illumination and ambient temperature. We also examined the role of their plasma membran...
