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

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.

The paper characterizes a Shaker potassium channel in a grasshopper neuron involved in visual object segmentation through electrophysiology and computational modeling.
