Wingless locust nymphs can form massive migratory groups known as bands, whose coordinated movement results from local… (More)

Mass migration of locusts is an economically devastating and poorly understood phenomenon. Locust mass migration often follows… (More)

Locust can jump precisely to a target, yet they can also tumble during the trajectory. We propose two mechanisms that would allow… (More)

Locusts (Orthoptera, Acrididae) were induced to fly while tethered within a simulated horizon display. Rotation of the horizon… (More)

We demonstrate pronounced differences in the visual system of a polyphenic locust species that can change reversibly between two… (More)

Honey bees are perhaps the most versatile models to study the cellular and pharmacological basis underlying behaviours ranging… (More)

THE solitary and the swarming phases of the same species of locusts can be distinguished by coloration and by biometrical… (More)

The purpose of the technique described here was to study the influence of external factors upon the flying speed and the ability… (More)

IT is a curious fact that nearly all insects, even the best flyers, lack static organs, which are so highly developed in other… (More)
