The RAPID grant allowed researchers to collect time-sensitive data on locust macronutrient balancing in the field, which has emerged as a key factor in regulating insect behavior, physiology and performance. We tested the hypothesis that <em>S. cancellata<\/em> in their expansion zones are unable to obtain food of sufficiently high carbohydrate:protein ratio to maximize their fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
