Original: ASU doctoral student explores how diet drives locust movement
An Arizona State University doctoral student is researching how nutrition influences locust swarming and movement patterns. The work examines the link between what locusts eat and how they travel, which could inform efforts to predict and control locust outbreaks that threaten crops and food supplies in affected regions.
Why now: Locust outbreaks are a major threat to agriculture, so research into what drives their movement draws attention.
