To the Editor – From the end of 2019 to early 2020, a desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) outbreak across several East African countries posed a serious risk to food security and livelihoods. A second wave is currently active and threatening the region’s agropastoral areas. Although desert locusts have been here since biblical times, recent intense outbreaks can be linked to anthropogenic climate change and the increased frequency of extreme weather events1–3. Current locust plagues are… Expand

A review of historical and recent locust outbreaks: Links to global warming, food security and mitigation strategies.
TLDR
There is a need for shifting towards soybean, rape, and watermelon which seems to help to prevent locust outbreaks and obtain food security, and forestation of arable land improves local climate conditions towards less precipitation and lower temperatures while simultaneously attracting a larger number of birds thereby increasing the locust predation rates. Expand
The potential habitat of desert locusts is contracting: predictions under climate change scenarios
TLDR
The prediction results indicate that climate change will have an impact on the distribution of the potential habitat of solitary desert locusts, and methods such as monitoring and early warning, financial support, regional cooperation, and scientific prevention and control of desert locUST plagues should be further implemented.

Understanding climate change and rising locust outbreak risks in Pakistan
The relationship between climate change and locust outbreak is not well-established. However, a recent increase in frequency and intensity of locust outbreak highlights some associations with… Expand
Modelling the effect of desert locust infestation on crop production with intervention measures
TLDR
High-level depletion of the chemical pesticide spray measures could lead to devastating crop losses and severe human health and environmental risks and combined early harvesting and low depletion chemical pesticide with ultra-low volume spray devices and formulation could mitigate and eliminate Desert Locust infestation.

The sluggard has no locusts: From persistent pest to irresistible icon
The twin shocks of locusts and COVID-19 are threatening the food security of millions of people and devastating economies in eastern Africa and northern India. The ongoing outbreak of desert locusts… Expand
Modelling the Impacts of Early Intervention on Desert Locust Outbreak Prevention
TLDR
A mathematical model was formulated and analyzed to protect crops against desert locust attack via early intervention tactics and shows that effective proactive early intervention on hopper stage locust contained locust infestation and subdued public health and environmental hazards are shown.

Violent conflict exacerbated drought-related food insecurity between 2009 and 2019 in sub-Saharan Africa
Conflict, drought and locusts are leading concerns for African food security but the relative importance and spatiotemporal scale of crises resulting from each hazard is poorly characterized. Here we… Expand
Charcoal producers and the pandemic: effects of COVID-19 in Pokot Central, Kenya
TLDR
The present study employs a sustainable livelihood framework to assess the ability of charcoal producers in northwestern Kenya, to cope with a short-term shock such as the COVID-19 pandemic and preventive measures, and compares their access to health information to that of non-producers. Expand
Maize streak virus research in Africa: an end or a crossroad.
TLDR
Man's preparedness in the event of an epidemic following any evolutionary process in the streak viral genome was determined as insufficient and modern breeding approaches including gene pyramiding that could be considered in maize breeding programmes to ensure durability for streak resistance were proposed while improving maize for other abiotic stress tolerance, particularly drought. Expand
Application of Remote Sensing Data for Locust Research and Management—A Review
TLDR
This review paper summarizes remote sensing-based studies for locust management and research over the past four decades and reveals progress made and gaps for further research, as well as quantifying which locust species, regions of interest, sensor data and variables were mainly used and which thematic foci were of interest.

A threefold rise in widespread extreme rain events over central India
TLDR
Against the backdrop of a declining monsoon, the number of extreme rain events is on the rise over central India, driven by an increasing variability of the low-level monsoon westerlies over the Arabian Sea. Expand
Funding gap for locust crisis

TLDR
East Africa is experiencing the worst desert locust outbreak in decades, and with a surge in the locust population expected in coming weeks urgent action is needed to avert a humanitarian crisis. Expand
Increasing frequency of extremely severe cyclonic storms over the Arabian Sea
In 2014 and 2015, post-monsoon extremely severe cyclonic storms (ESCS)—defined by the WMO as tropical storms with lifetime maximum winds greater than 46 m s−1—were first observed over the Arabian Sea… Expand

Stabilised frequency of extreme positive Indian Ocean Dipole under 1.5 °C warming
TLDR
The authors show that the frequency of these events increases linearly with warming, doubling at 1.5 °C from the pre-industrial level, but plateaus thereafter, which corresponds to a 50% reduction in frequency of an extreme El Niño preceded by an extreme pIOD from that projected under a business-as-usual scenario.

Global reconstruction of historical ocean heat storage and transport
TLDR
A method is presented to reconstruct ocean temperature changes with global, full-depth ocean coverage, revealing warming of 436 ×1021 J since 1871, which demonstrates that the ocean absorbed as much heat during 1921–1946 as during 1990–2015. Expand

Penetration of Human-Induced Warming into the World's Oceans
