Funded Activity Summary

Integrative behaviour: a new synthesis. The research will use a uniquely integrative behavioural approach to a) analyse swarming in locusts, and b) apply powerful new models in nutrition to address key problems in biology, agriculture and human health. Outcomes will include i) an understanding of the molecular and environmental mechanisms controlling swarming in locusts, providing new management and control strategies; ii) insights into human obesity, with health policy recommendations; iii) new technologies for designing nutritional regimes for animal production; iv) an understanding of the responses of insect pests to changing environments; and v) insights into the flow of nutrients across trophic levels within terrestrial ecosystems.
