...Bert Foquet; Drew W. Little; Jorge Humberto Medina-Durán; Hojun Song ABSTRACT Locusts exhibit an extreme form of phenotypic plasticity and can exist as two alternative phenotypes, known as solitarious and gregarious phases. These phases, which can transform from one to another depending on local...
