Eggs and hatchlings variations in desert locusts: phase related characteristics and starvation tolerance

Eggs and hatchlings variations in desert locusts: phase related characteristics and starvation tolerance

Locusts are grasshopper species that express phase polyphenism: modifying their behavior, morphology, coloration, life history and physiology in response to crowding. Desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, epigenetically modify progeny quality and quantity in response to crowding. Gregarious (crowde...
