Sedentary animals choose appropriate refuges against predators, while migratory ones may not necessarily do so. In ectotherms, refuge selection is critical during low temperatures, because they cannot actively evade predators. To understand how migratory ectotherms alter their defensive behaviors depending on refuge quality in cold temperatures, we evaluated migratory gregarious desert locust nymphs (Schistocerca gregaria) in the Sahara Desert, where daily thermal constraints occur. We recorded how roosting plant type (bush/shrub) and its height influenced two alternative defense behaviors (dropping/stationary) during cold mornings, in response to an approaching simulated ground predator. Most locusts in bushes dropped within the bush and hid irrespective of their height, whereas those roosting > 2 m height in shrubs remained stationary. These defenses are effective and match with refuge plant types because dynamic locomotion is not required. When nymphs roosted on shrubs < 1.5-m height, which was an unsafe position, nearly half showed both defensive behaviors, indicating that escaping decisions become ambiguous when the refuges are inappropriate. These results suggest that locusts display flexible defensive behaviors when finding appropriate refuges and selecting refuge before daily thermal limitations occur could be critical for migratory ectotherms, which is a risk associated with migration.
