Description | This genome project is a joint effort between the Behavioral Plasticity Research Institute (https://behavioralplasticity.org) and the Ag100Pest project (http://i5k.github.io/ag100pest). Schistocerca americana is a species of grasshopper in the family Acrididae known commonly as the American grasshopper and American bird grasshopper. It is native to North America, where it occurs in the eastern United States, Mexico, and the Bahamas. Occasional, localized outbreaks of this grasshopper occur, and it is often referred to as a locust, though it lacks the true swarming form of its congener, the desert locust (S. gregaria).
