The research will use a uniquely integrative behavioural approach to a) analyse swarming in locusts, and b) apply powerful new models in nutrition to address key problems in biology, agriculture and human health. Outcomes will include i) an understanding of the molecular and environmental mechanisms controlling swarming in locusts, providing new management and control strategies; ii) insights into human obesity, with health policy recommendations; iii) new technologies for designing nutritional regimes for animal production; iv) an understanding of the responses of insect pests to changing environments; and v) insights into the flow of nutrients across trophic levels within terrestrial ecosystems.

这项研究将使用一种独特的综合行为方法来a)分析蝗虫群，b)应用强大的营养新模型来解决生物学、农业和人类健康方面的关键问题。结果将包括i)了解控制蝗虫群体的分子和环境机制，提供新的管理和控制策略；㈡深入了解人类肥胖问题，并提出卫生政策建议；Iii)设计动物生产营养方案的新技术；Iv)了解害虫对环境变化的反应；v)深入了解陆地生态系统中营养物质在营养水平上的流动。
