i5K Comments for Schistocerca americana
1. Schistocerca americana is widely used as a research and teaching model in insect physiology, neurobiology and behavior.

2. The phylogenetic relationship between the New World S. americana and its infamous swarming congener, S. gregaria in the Old World, remains unresolved despite molecular and morphological studies.

3. S. americana does not swarm. It is thus an excellent comparative model for (i) analyses of genetic versus environmental factors underlying locust swarming, and (ii) the expression of density-dependent phenotypic plasticity which is a defining trait of locusts.		 Greg Sword
