The effects of density-dependent polyphenism on circadian biology of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria
Locusts demonstrate phenotypic plasticity in behaviour, morphology and physiology, driven by population density changes. At low densities, locusts become ‘solitarious’, are cryptic in behaviour and appearance, and avoid other locusts. At high densities, locusts become ‘gregarious’, are conspicuously...
