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 ...

Multimodal Cues Do Not Improve Predator Recognition in Green Toad Tadpoles
Animals, 2022 The anti-predator behaviour of green toad (Bufotes balearicus) tadpoles was investigated by exposing them to only the visual or chemical cues, or a combination of both, of a native predator, southern hawker Aeshna cyanea.

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.

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.

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.

Simultaneously hermaphroditic shrimp use lipophilic cuticular hydrocarbons as contact sex pheromones [PDF]
, 2011 Successful mating is essentially a consequence of making the right choices at the correct time. Animals use specific strategies to gain information about a potential mate, which is then applied to decision-making processes.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 In social bees, the choice of food sources is based on several factors, including scent marks, color, and location of flowers. Here, we used similar setups, in which two stingless bee species, Melipona subnitida and Plebeia flavocincta, and the Western ...
