ASU researchers developing sustainable ways to manage locust outbreaks worldwide

(Arizona State University) A team of scientists from Arizona State, Colorado State, McGill and Yale universities are launching a new collaborative project to learn how human behavior, market forces and ecological systems interact over time to affect the outcomes of locust swarms. The researchers will conduct studies in China, Senegal and Australia -- countries that depend on livestock production and each home to locust outbreaks that may be linked to degraded livestock pastures.
