Locusts forage and migrate in large swarms which exhibit distinctive shapes that improve efficiency on the group level, a phenomenon known as collective behavior. One of the difficulties in understanding and preventing these collective behaviors has been a lack of biological data for individual interactions between locusts.\u00a0 In this talk, I\u2019ll first describe mathematical models for these phenomena on both the collective and individual levels. I\u2019ll then discuss a collaboration with students at Harvey Mudd College using field data derived from video footage of locust swarms. We digitized nearly 20,000 locust trajectories and revealed individual behaviors that depend on a locust\u2019s motion and the relative position of its nearby neighbors. Finally, I will illustrate the challenges and potential benefits of incorporating these field observations into our models of locust swarms.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<hr \/>\n<p>Prof. Jasper Weinburd is an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvey Mudd College.
