CSP and takeout genes modulate the switch between attraction and repulsion during behavioral phase change in the migratory locust.

Behavioral plasticity is the most striking trait in locust phase transition. However, the genetic basis for behavioral plasticity in locusts is largely unknown. To unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying the behavioral phase change in the migratory locust Locusta migratoria, the gene expression...
