Organization and neural connections of the lateral complex in the brain of the desert locust
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Comparative Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/cne.25209
Abstract: The lateral complexes (LXs) are bilaterally paired neuropils in the insect brain that mediate communication between the central complex (CX), a brain center controlling spatial orientation, various sensory processing areas, and thoracic motor centers that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00441-019-03083-x
Abstract: In insects, pheromones are detected by olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) of the antennae that co-express pheromone receptors (PRs) and the “sensory neuron membrane protein 1” (SNMP1). Beyond its relevance for pheromone detection via the antenna,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jinsphys.2019.01.004
Abstract: The desert locust shows conspicuous phase polyphenism of various traits in response to crowding conditions. Gregarious females lay larger eggs that produce black hatchlings, whereas solitarious females lay smaller eggs that produce green hatchlings. Previous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1117/1.jrs.12.036011
Abstract: Abstract. Desert locusts have attacked crops since antiquity. To prevent or mitigate its effects on local communities, it is necessary to precisely locate its breeding areas. Previous works have relied on precipitation and vegetation index… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0223569
Abstract: Extrusion of xenobiotics is essential for allowing animals to remove toxic substances present in their diet or generated as a biproduct of their metabolism. By transporting a wide range of potentially noxious substrates, active transporters… read more here.

DOI: 10.14411/eje.2019.049
Abstract: The insect growth regulator NC-184, a juvenile hormone mimic, prevents moulting to the adult stage in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal) (Orthoptera: Acrididae). Male nymphs treated in the penultimate or final nymphal instar with… read more here.
