Fitness costs of cornicle secretions as a defense mechanism for cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii (Hem.: Aphididae) [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2012
The cornicle secretion is a defensive mechanism in many aphid species to warn the related individuals of predation by natural enemies. Many researches have been conducted on the benefits of cornicle droplet and alarm pheromone but the cost of this ...

Aversive cues fail to activate fos expression in the asymmetric olfactory-habenula pathway of zebrafish

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
The dorsal habenular nuclei of the zebrafish epithalamus have become a valuable model for studying the development of left-right (L-R) asymmetry and its function in the vertebrate brain.

Repelling foraging honeybees with alarm pheromones

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1985
SUMMARYThe honeybee alarm pheromones 2·heptanone and isopentyl acetate were repellent to honeybee foragers when applied to plots of oil-seed rape and field beans and to sunflower heads. Their possible use to repel bees from crops before insecticide application is discussed.

Consistency and individuality of honeybee stinging behaviour across time and social contexts

Royal Society Open Science
Whether individuals exhibit consistent behavioural variation is a central question in the field of animal behaviour. This question is particularly interesting in the case of social animals, as their behaviour may be strongly modulated by the collective ...

Transcriptome profiling of maternal stress‐induced wing dimorphism in pea aphids

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Wing dimorphism, that is, wingless and winged forms, can be induced by maternal stress signals and is an adaptive response of aphids to environmental changes.

Secondhand horror: effects of direct and indirect predator cues on behavior and reproduction of the bank vole

Ecosphere, 2019
Risk recognition by prey is of paramount importance within the evolutionary arms race between predator and prey. Prey species are able to detect direct predator cues like odors and adjust their behavior appropriately.
