Tóm tắt

 Locusts are a threat to agriculture and livelihoods in many countries globally. The economic, social, and environmental consequences of these highly migratory pests are so substantial that they are treated as a national priority by many countries
  several international commissions have been established to unite efforts. This Special Issue aims to shed light on some overarching questions: what have we learned from historical outbreaks
  how serious is the threat
  what research is ongoing and is needed to better manage these insects
  how should the world respond to plagues today, especially in the context of climate change
  are recommended preventive strategies really effective and what are the constraints to their application
  and is there a possibility to make better use of biological alternatives to chemical pesticides?
