Review of the Research on Locust at Home and Abroad

Locusts have many kinds, they are the widespread insect pests in the world,especially in the regions of middle and low latitudes.They have been one of the important research subjects of many disciplines because of their extensive distribution and serious harmfulness.This paper summarizes the progress in the research on locust, which include physiology,ecology,survey and prediction,control technique,etc. of locust. Furthermore,based on the analysis on the new progress of interdisciplinary and intertechnological research on locust, three main aspects of researchtrend on locust are concluded:1.By using physical and chemical analyses,biological experiments and other technologies,quantitative research has been paid more attention to in physiology,biology and ecology of locust, and some new mathematical analyzing methods have been used in a wide range.These are conductive to profoundly reveal the relations between the individuals and colonies of locust and the habitats so as to provide the more reliable mechanism models for understanding the structure evolution of the colonies of locusts and grasshoppers and the temporal and spetial differentiation.2.Along with the development of information technology and statistics of geoscience,especially remote sensing,geographical information system and global position system,some new technological means are provided for researching the temporal and spatial change lows of the colony structure of locust, and the development of technology for monitoring and predicting the disasters of locust is promoted.3.The research on locust has been regarded as a component part of the research on the whole ecosystems.
