Swarm Modelling (Kit Yates, University of Bath)
When we are talking about locusts as a problem, we are essentially talking about swarms of locusts. Christian Yates from University of Bath uses mathematical models to try and understand the dynamics of swarm behaviour– what are the rules of swarm movements that locusts follow, and how we can use those rules to control swarms that have already taken flight. Christian made this presentation at the 1st Virtual Practitioners Conference on Desert Locust Management (August 10, 2020)
