- Investigates the effects of population density on the swarming of locusts
- Introduces a minimal model to describe the onset of cohesive motion of a group of locusts as the group size increases
- Demonstrates that collective behavior can be initiated through simple individual-based interactions and show that there is an explicit dependence on the size of the group considered
