Locust Season 2 Download

Lori Locust is in her fifth season coaching in the NFL and her first season with the Titans. Prior to arriving in Tennessee, she spent four seasons as assistant defensive line coach at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In 2019, Locust helped coach a defensive line that plugged the gaps for the league's top run defense. Tampa Bay ranked first in the NFL, allowing 73.8 rushing yards per game and 3.26 yards per rush. The defensive line unit also played a critical role in helping the Buccaneers defense post the then-second-highest single-season sack total in franchise history with 47 takedowns.

Locust joined the Buccaneers after working as the assistant defensive line coach for the Birmingham Iron of the Alliance of American Football during the league's 2019 inaugural season. In 2018, she served as a defensive line coaching intern for the Baltimore Ravens during the team's training camp and, from 2016-18, worked as a defensive line/linebackers coach and co-special teams coordinator of the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks of the National Arena League.

The latest models predict a wet winter season in the Desert Locust recession area from December to February along the Gulf of Aden in northwest Somalia and southern Yemen due to El Nio and the Indian Ocean Dipole. Some models suggest a slightly drier rain on the southern Red Sea coast in Eritrea, Sudan, Yemen, and southwest Saudi Arabia while there is more uncertainty on the northern Red Sea coast of southeast Egypt and northern Saudi Arabia. A second generation of breeding is likely to begin in January or February, especially in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden coasts. During the spring season, slightly wetter rains could commence in February in southeast Iran, southwest Pakistan, and maybe the interior of Saudi Arabia in April.

The latest seasonal precipitation predictions provided by the World Climate Service (WCS) cover the spring, summer and winter breeding areas of the Desert Locust. This is one of the most sophisticated products available, derived from eight models: CFSv2, ECMWF, and Copernicus (CMCC, DWD, ECCC, JMA, Mteo-France, UKMO). The results of each model are presented below.

There have been few locust activity reports since the last update in May 2023. The mildly high populations, seen in the NSW Riverina district earlier in the year, have not progressed into large hatchings in spring so far. Decreases in populations seen throughout the last 3 La Nia years, are likely attributable to climate extremes (too wet, too dry) rather than higher than average temperatures.

The forecast for the 2023-24 locust season is for a very low-level spring population, a low-level summer population and a low to medium level autumn population. It is unlikely that locust numbers will be large enough to cause concern this season until at least autumn 2024, if at all. Further information will be shared regularly by Agriculture Victoria as the season progresses.

Intermittent locust populations may also be seen in varying concentrations from season to season around regional Victoria. In any given year, it is possible that locust swarms could migrate into Victoria from interstate.

Agriculture Victoria continues to undertake surveillance and works closely with all stakeholders to provide relevant, timely and accurate information on locust populations and movements throughout the season.

The first thing that comes to mind when we think of the desert locust is destruction. Traveling in swarms that can number in the billions, or even trillions, and spread over large swathes of land, this small insect causes catastrophic damage to pasture and to crops. A small swarm can in one day eat the same amount of food as 35,000 people or damage 100 tonnes of crops across a square kilometre of fields. Locust invasions are a major threat to food security and, in worst-case scenarios, lead to famine and displacement. So, when developing swarms hit Yemen toward the end of 2019, the food security of almost 30 million people was at risk.

Climate is a major limiting factor for insect distributions and it is expected that a changing climate will likely alter spatial patterns of pest outbreaks. The Australian plague locust (APL) Chortoicetes terminifera, is the most economically important locust species in Australia. Invasions cause large scale economic damage to agricultural crops and pastures. Understanding the regional-scale and long-term dynamics is a prerequisite to develop effective control and preventive management strategies. In this study, we used a 32-year locust survey database to uncover the relationship between historical bioclimatic variables and spatial seasonal outbreaks by developing two machine learning species distribution models (SDMs), random forest and boosted regression trees. The explanatory variables were ranked by contribution to the generated models. The bio-climate models were then projected into a future climate change scenario (RCP8.5) using downscaled 34 global climate models (GCMs) to assess how climate change may alter APL seasonal distribution patterns in eastern Australia. Our results show that the model for the distribution of spring outbreaks performed better than those for summer and autumn, based on statistical evaluation criteria. The spatial models of seasonal outbreaks indicate that the areas subject to APL outbreaks were likely to decrease in all seasons. Multi-GCM ensemble means show the largest decrease in area was for spring outbreaks, reduced by 93-94% by 2071-2090, while the area of summer outbreaks decreased by 78-90%, and 67-74% for autumn outbreaks. The bioclimatic variables could explain 78-98% outbreak areas change. This study represents an important step toward the assessment of the effects of the changing climate on locust outbreaks and can help inform future priorities for regional mitigation efforts in the context of global climate change in eastern Australia.

The worst desert locust outbreak in a generation has been decimating crops and other vegetation across the Horn of Africa. Since January, Kenya Ethiopia, and Somalia have been battling to contain the escalating crisis as the outbreak moved southward towards South Sudan and eastward towards Uganda. In recent months, swarms have spread to the Middle East as well as western Asia.

In 2003, a large locust outbreak across 20 countries in Northern Africa lasted until 2005. Studies found that children who grew up during the period were much less likely to go to school, and girls were disproportionately affected.

This created a perfect breeding condition for the locust, says Keith Cressman, senior locust forecasting officer at the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). "We know that cyclones are the originators of swarms - and in the past 10 years, there's been an increase in the frequency of cyclones in the Indian Ocean." In 2019 alone, there was a total of eight cyclones, including Cyclone Idai and Cyclone Kenneth.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) a single swarm of desert locusts covering one square kilometer contains up to 80 million locusts. Even with a lifespan of only three months, under the right conditions, they can multiply up to twentyfold in just one generation, according to the FAO.

The resurgence of swarms of desert locusts coupled with the impact of COVID-19 could lead to devastating circumstances. Government locust control operations, including training staff and spraying pesticides, are facing challenges due restrictions related to the pandemic.

Locusts are similar to grasshoppers, but differ in that they have the ability to change their behavior and can migrate over large distances. The swarms over the Horn of Africa are made up of "desert locusts," which are known for forming swarms that can be highly dense and mobile, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization desert locust information center.

"They're making no bones about it, they need that money now," Patta said from Johannesburg, South Africa. "It's the worst (locust outbreak) in 70 years for Kenya, and a quarter of a century for Somalia and Ethiopia."

"We need to act immediately because the locusts don't wait, they will come and they will destroy," said Maria Helena Semedo, FAO Deputy Director-General for Climate and Natural Resources, in the appeal. "We need to tackle the emergency but we need to think about livelihoods and the long-term."

The desert locust is considered the most destructive migratory pest in the world, according to the FAO. A small swarm of locusts can consume enough food for 35,000 people. Farmers are complaining that about 90% of their crops have already been destroyed. The locusts are now moving towards Uganda and South Sudan, a country that is already under significant strain from food insecurity.

While the swarms appear almost biblical, there is a clear suspect for the cause of the outbreak: the changing climate. Unusually wet and rainy seasons has contributed to the number of locusts, which thrive after rainy weather, Patta reports.

The insects grow in size extremely fast, but only live three to five months. Within that short lifespan, however, a locust population can explode if left unchecked. The swarms have grown so big that one spotted in Kenya contained about 200 billion individual locusts, occupying a space in the sky three times the size of New York City.

According to the FAO, a new generation of locusts is expected to hatch in February, and new swarms are expected in early April. If they are not controlled soon, more vulnerable countries will be targeted next. 2351a5e196
