The economic, social, and environmental consequences of these highly migratory pests are so substantial that they are treated as a national priority by many countries; several international commissions have been established to unite efforts. This Special Issue aims to shed light on some overarching questions: what have we learned from historical outbreaks; how serious is the threat; what research is ongoing and is needed to better manage these insects; how should the world respond to plagues today, especially in the context of climate change; are recommended preventive strategies really effective and what are the constraints to their application; and is there a possibility to make better use of biological alternatives to chemical pesticides?How to Manage Migratory Pests and Potential Food Crises Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicssclocust swarmbio-pesticidegregarious locustsaggregation behaviourlinseed oilnecromonesaggregationdensity-dependent phase polyphenismmigrationnight-roosting site choiceSchistocerca gregariaDesert Locust Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål 1775)Oriental Migratory Locust Locusta migratoria manilensis (Meyen 1835)spectral analysisKalman filterspectral coherenceconvergence cross mappingsunspot groupsENSOSOIIODNAOlocust swarmsNear EastMesopotamiaswarming potential of resident speciesSchistocerca grerariaDociostaurus maroccanuscontrolimpedimentsinsecurityplaguesurveillancewarproactionthresholdupsurgelocust plaguespreventative and reactive programsmoral agentscapacity-and-capability modelsocial connections modelresponsibilityglobal justiceentomophagymalnutritiondesert locustoutbreakfoodinsectlocustgrasshopperbiological controlNosema locustaeapplicationepizooticsWest Siberian Plaindistributiondynamicspopulationpopulation managementplant protectionenvironmental governancesocial variableslocustssocial sciencesecologyfield monitoringoutbreaks managementdroneunmanned aerial vehicleearly warningpreventive controlbiopesticideDesert locustecosystem processesnutrient cyclingnutritional valuebrown locustLocustana pardalinaKaroooutbreak patternscontrol strategyintegrated pest managementTibethigh altitude plateauinvasion routesurvivalnatural barrierdesert locustscrop losspasturelandland coverpopulation dynamicsmanagementinsecticide disturbancebarrier treatmentspray historynon-target effectsCoarctotermes clepsydrarecoveryresiliencepreventive strategylocust biologylocust ecologyMetarhizium acridumMetarhizium anisopliaeBeauveria bassianalethal effectsublethal effectgreenhousefield efficacyResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesTechnology, engineering, agricultureLecoq Micheledt1331810Cease ArianneedtLecoq MichelothCease ArianneothBOOK9910637792203321How to Manage Migratory Pests and Potential Food Crises3040590UNINA
