Jeremy Roffey, George Basil Popov, and L.V Bennett examined the spatial and environmental mechanisms that facilitated the survival, reproduction, and formation of swarms in the desert locust.

From 1959 to 1964, Belgian entomologist Hans Brédo directed a significant project on the desert locust, funded mainly by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and overseen by the FAO.

In 1931, the Comité d’Etudes de la Biologie des Acridiens was established in France with the backing of R. Pasquier, who operated out of Algeria. This committee was later replaced in 1943 by the Office National Antiacridien (ONAA), led by Zolotarevsky and supported by Pasquier and Rungs. The ONAA co

Meir Paul Pener was an Israeli biologist who made significant contributions to the study of locust phase polyphenism, particularly in the fields of physiology and endocrinology. He conducted research on locust locust phase polyphenism, behavior, and population dynamics. Pener's work has helped deepe

Friend of Boris Petrovitch Uvarov. In 1913, Plotnikov performed caged crowding experiments (Plotnikov, 1924) and Faure (1923) did field studies of the brown locust, _Locustana pardalina_ (Word et al 2024).

Charles Valentine Riley was an American entomologist and artist who lived from 1843 to 1895. He is widely recognized for his contributions to the field of entomology, particularly in the areas of pest management and biological control. Riley is often referred to as the "father of biological control"

Jeremy Roffey, George Basil Popov, and L.V Bennett explored the spatial and environmental processes that promoted survival, multiplication, and gregarization of the desert locust.

From 1959 to 1964, the FAO conducted a significant locust research project directed by Belgian entomologist Hans Brédo and financed primarily by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This project, which included substantial research efforts, notably advanced understanding of the desert lo

J.P. Têtefort led a UNDP-FAO initiative in Madagascar from 1971 to 1973 to refine strategies for managing the migratory locust. This project focused on the southwestern region, revealing rainfall's significant impact, the pivotal role of solitary population movement in swarming and introducing a mon
