Synopsis

This book surveys research into migrant pests such as the desert locust, and how their movements relate to the dynamics of wind and weather systems. The author describes how the often erratic movements of the pests, which can be catastrophic to crops, can now be mapped with radar. Their flight behaviour is described, and the ecological and evolutionary aspects of flight and migration are discussed aiming to present new options for the strategy and tactics of pest management, especially in relation to the African locust and grasshopper. By examining what has been achieved in this area, the author has provided for the biologist an introduction to the relevant aspects of meteorology.
