The paper shows that locust swarming evolves through diverse molecular pathways rather than shared genes, highlighting flexible regulatory architectures and modular systems.

This study investigates whether Trypanosoma cruzi-infected triatomine insects prefer mammalian hosts over non-mammalian ones, finding that infected T. gerstaeckeri show no host preference while uninfected ones prefer dogs.

This study compares phenotypic plasticity effects on jump escape behavior and LGMD neuron properties in locusts and grasshoppers, finding behavioral differences but not physiological or transcriptomic ones.
