ASU doctoral student studies how diet drives locust movement
Original: ASU doctoral student explores how diet drives locust movement
An Arizona State University doctoral student is researching how nutrition influences locust movement and swarming behavior. The work examines the link between what locusts eat and how far or where they travel, findings that could matter for predicting and managing locust outbreaks, which threaten crops and food security across large parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
