1. The visual control of ground speed in the flight of gregarious desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, was investigated under open-and closed-loop conditions. Locusts were flown tethered in a wind tunnel, and ground pattern motion in line with their longitudinal body axes was used to simulate the
By ''phenotypic plasticity'' we refer to the capacity of a genotype to exhibit different phenotypes, whether in the same or in different environments. We have previously demonstrated that phenotypic plasticity can improve the degree of adaptation achieved via natural selection (Behera & Nanjundiah,
