Desert #locusts can form disastrous #swarms, threatening the food security of millions. In our new @NatureComms paper, we show how their olfactory system adapts to crowded conditions. Here is a breakdown:.

A locust swarm descended upon collective behavior! . Excited to share my postdoc work with @icouzin.

🚨🦗 Virtual reality experiments revealed that a minimal cognitive framework - and not explicit neighbor alignment - drives collective motion, rewriting the rules of swarm behavior! .#VR #Swarm #Science #Locust.Don’t miss it; check out the paper here:

Locust swarms call for a rewrite of the swarming rules. Take a look at our field, lab, VR and modeling study of locusts in @ScienceMagazine !

Our study offers insights into locust #decision-making during foraging, linking behavioral preferences and physiological observations. Locusts' social & behavioral plasticity makes them ideal for future #neuroethology research.

Last, we show how dynamic changes between distinct odor response motifs can reliably predict a locust’s social phenotype.
