- •
Desert locust hoppers show three kinds of body-color polyphenism.
- •
A recently added kind is homochromy, adaptation to the background color.
- •
Tactile and visual stimuli induce gregarious black patterning.
- •
Hoppers in isolation develop black patterns when allowed to watch a locust movie.
- •
The gene encoding corazonin that induces black patterns was identified.
