Locust swarming, one of nature’s most spectacular examples of a repeated emergent polyphenism, has long been suspected to rely on conserved “swarming genes” or shared genomic features. By applying a model-clade approach comparing six species that vary in their degrees of plasticity and collective behavior, we show that...

This is the first report of RoLCuV, a novel DNA-B, PaLCrV, and HYVA infecting D. erecta variegata in Pakistan, and the presence of rose leaf curl virus accompanied by a novel recombinant DNA-B, tentatively named "rose leaf curl virus DNA-B."
