“…Its distribution is discontinuous, consisting of isolated permanent breeding areas, separated from one another by natural obstacles like mountains or water bodies. 39 During rather long periods of recession, this isolation is absolute. During short (one to three years) periods of outbreaks, some exchange between the adjacent populations is possible due to migrating swarms, which can cover distances up to 200 km (Ref.…”

“…3,30,37 The breeding areas of the Moroccan locust are spread over 10,000 km across North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. 38,39 Despite all national and international efforts to implement efficient locust monitoring, there is always a threat that in some locations locusts may produce an undetected gregarious population, leading to a large-scale outbreak. As a result, curative insecticide treatments are applied to enormous areas to minimize crop losses from locust outbreaks.…”

“…As a general rule, locust aggregation and eventual phase transformation are favored by habitat discontinuity or patchiness, which can result from a variety of meteorological events. 5,8,39 Locusts significantly differ in their life cycles, habitat preferences, and other ecological requirements. It is appropriate to consider potential advantages and limitations in their satellite-based monitoring on a species-specific basis, and for most economically important locust species.…”

“…Indeed, the preferred habitats of D. maroccanus are restricted to virgin foothills in the Mediterranean (s. l.) region located at altitudes between 400 and 1200 m above sea level and receiving about 300 to 500 mm of annual precipitation. 39 This zone is covered by arid steppe or semi-desert vegetation consisting of ephemeral short grasses (particularly Poa bulbosa), sedges, and forbs (Fig. 23).…”

A dozen species of locusts (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are a major threat to food security worldwide. Their outbreaks occur on every continent except Antarctica, threatening the livelihood of 10% of the world's population. The locusts are infamous for their voracity, polyphagy, and capacity for long-distance migrations. Decades of research revealed very complex bioecology of locusts. They exist in two, inter-convertible and density-dependent states, or "phases." Despite the evident progress in understanding locust behavior, our ability to predict and manage locust outbreaks remains insufficient, as evidenced by locust plagues still occurring during the 21st century. One of the main reasons is that locusts typically inhabit remote and scarcely populated areas, and their distribution ranges often spread across continents. This creates tremendous obstacles for locust population monitoring and control. Traditional ground locust surveys are inadequate to address the enormous spatial scale of the locust problem in a limited window of time dictated by the pest's development. Remote sensing (satellite information) appears a promising tool in locust monitoring. Satellite data are increasingly used for monitoring and forecasting two locust species, the desert and the Australian plague locust. However, applications of this geospatial technology to other locust species remain rare. © The Authors. Published by SPIE under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

Understanding the processes that shape neutral and adaptive genomic variation is a fundamental step to determine the demographic and evolutionary dynamics of pest species. Here, we use genomic data obtained via restriction site-associated DNA sequencing to investigate the genetic structure of Moroccan locust (Dociostaurus maroccanus) populations from the westernmost portion of the species distribution (Iberian Peninsula and Canary Islands), infer demographic trends, and determine the role of neutral versus selective processes in shaping spatial patterns of genomic variation in this pest species of great economic importance. Our analyses showed that Iberian populations are characterized by high gene flow, whereas the highly isolated Canarian populations have experienced strong genetic drift and loss of genetic diversity. Historical demographic reconstructions revealed that all populations have passed through a substantial genetic bottleneck around the last glacial maximum (~21 ka BP) followed by a sharp demographic expansion at the onset of the Holocene, indicating increased effective population sizes during warm periods as expected from the thermophilic nature of the species. Genome scans and environmental association analyses identified several loci putatively under selection, suggesting that local adaptation processes in certain populations might not be impeded by widespread gene flow. Finally, all analyses showed few differences between outbreak and nonoutbreak populations. Integrated pest management practices should consider high population connectivity and the potential importance of local adaptation processes on population persistence.
