Male competition reverses female preference for male chemical cues [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Females must choose among potential mates with different phenotypes in a variety of social contexts. Many male traits are inherent and unchanging, but others are labile to social context.

Osteogenesis‐Inducing Chemical Cues Enhance the Mechanosensitivity of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Osteogenic Differentiation on a Microtopographically Patterned Surface [PDF]
Advanced Science, 2022 Mechanical cues are widely used for regulating cell behavior because of their overarching, extensive, and non‐invasive advantages. However, unlike chemical cues, mechanical cues are not efficient enough to determine cell fate independently and improving ...

Avoidance Behavior in Chinhai Spiny Newt Larvae: Responses to Visual and Chemical Cues from a Novel Predator [PDF]
AnimalsEffective recognition of potential threats is crucial for survival in aquatic habitats, especially for amphibian larvae. As a critically endangered species, understanding how the Chinhai spiny newt (Echinotriton chinhaiensis) larvae recognize novel ...

Divergent Embryo Responses to Chemical Cues in Two Freshwater Fishes with Different Parental Care Strategies [PDF]
AnimalsChemical information is one of the most important modes of communication among aquatic organisms. However, it remains unclear whether fish embryos are innately responsive to ecologically-related chemical cues from the cues of their cohort competitors ...

Chemosensation: Corollary discharge filters out self-generated chemical cues. [PDF]
Curr Biol, 2022 Corollary discharge allows organisms to discriminate external sensory inputs from self-generated cues. However, the underlying synaptic and molecular mechanisms are not well understood. A new study has identified a tyraminergic corollary discharge signal that extrasynaptically modulates chemosensory neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Sensory Adaptation to Chemical Cues by Vomeronasal Sensory Neurons. [PDF]
eNeuro, 2018 AbstractSensory adaptation is a source of experience-dependent feedback that impacts responses to environmental cues. In the mammalian main olfactory system (MOS), adaptation influences sensory coding at its earliest processing stages. Sensory adaptation in the accessory olfactory system (AOS) remains incompletely explored, leaving many aspects of the ...

Chemical Cues that Guide Female Reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
J Chem Ecol, 2018 Chemicals released into the environment by food, predators and conspecifics play critical roles in Drosophila reproduction. Females and males live in an environment full of smells, whose molecules communicate to them the availability of food, potential mates, competitors or predators.

Oceans, 2021 The ability of shoaling fish to recognise and differentiate between potential groupmates may affect their fitness and survival. Fish are capable of social recognition and multiple sensory cues mediate the recognition mechanisms.

Stream grazers determine their crawling direction on the basis of chemical and particulate microalgal cues [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 This study aimed to determine the association between herbivore behavior and cues from producers. We used stream grazer Glossosoma larvae and determined their crawling direction in relation to chemical and visual cues from microalgae.

Diversity, 2021 A mutualistic symbiosis exists between the alga Sargassum spp. and two shrimp species, Latreutes fucorum and Leander tenuicornis. However, little is known about how these shrimp locate and establish their host alga.
