Project overview

The CAREER project focuses on how nutrition, population density and historical habitat variability interact to affect migration, immune function and reproduction of locusts.

It integrates lab and field research to form an interdisciplinary approach to advance our understanding of why and how animals migrate and increase our ability to predict migratory responses to global change.
