Researchers Uncover How Migratory Locusts Balance Aggregation and Repulsion via Olfactory Neural Modulation
A team from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by CAS member Prof. KANG Le, has conducted research and discovered that migratory locusts achieve a delicate balance between swarm formation, predator defense, and cannibalism avoidance through precise neural modulation of these two opposing olfactory signals.
