Anisotropic interaction and motion states of locusts in a hopper band

J. Weinburd, J. Landsberg, A. Kravtsova, S. Lam, T. Sharma, S. J. Simpson, G. A. Sword, J. Buhl

This study analyzes the movement patterns of locusts in hopper bands, identifying three motion states and anisotropic interactions based on relative neighbor positions.

The impact of dietary protein and carbohydrates on gene expression in a generalist insect herbivore

C. A. Deans, G. A. Sword, H. Vogel, S. Behmer

This study examines how dietary protein-to-carbohydrate ratio and total macronutrient content affect gene expression in Helicoverpa zea larvae, finding that total macronutrient content has a stronger impact than the ratio.

Gene-by-environment interactions in agricultural pest management: population effects on diet-Bt interactions in a caterpillar

C. A. Deans, G. A. Sword, S. Behmer, E. Burkness, M. Pusztai-Carey, W. Hutchison

This study examines how macronutrient variability in diets affects Bt toxin susceptibility in field populations of Helicoverpa zea, showing genetic background influences on diet-toxin interactions.

Geomagnetic field intensity as a cue for the regulation of insect migration

G. Wan, R. Liu, C. Li, J. He, W. Pan, G. A. Sword, G. Hu, F. Chen

The paper tests how changes in geomagnetic field intensity affect migration-related traits in the brown planthopper, finding responses in morphology, behavior, and physiology.

Geomagnetic field absence reduces adult body weight of a migratory insect by disrupting feeding behavior and appetite regulation

G. Wan, S. Jiang, M. Zhang, J. Zhao, Y. Zhang, W. Pan, G. A. Sword, F. Chen

This study shows that absence of geomagnetic field reduces feeding in brown planthopper nymphs, leading to lower body weight and altered glucose levels and appetite-related gene expression.
