Chemical host-seeking cues of entomopathogenic nematodes
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2021 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are obligate parasites that infect a broad range of insect species. Host-seeking is a crucial step for EPN infection success and survival. Yet, the identity and ecological functions of chemicals involved in host-seeking by EPNs remain overlooked.

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 ...

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.

Sensorial Hierarchy in Octopus vulgaris’s Food Choice: Chemical vs. Visual
Animals, 2020 Octopus vulgaris possesses highly sophisticated sense organs, processed by the nervous system to generate appropriate behaviours such as finding food, avoiding predators, identifying conspecifics, and locating suitable habitat.

Chemosensory responses to chemical and visual stimuli in five species of colubrid snakes
Acta Herpetologica, 2012 Snakes utilize chemical and visual stimuli during predation, however the emphasis on these cues and which cues are used to initiate predation varies among species.

Conspecific and heterospecific cueing in shelter choices of Blaptica dubia cockroaches [PDF]
PeerJBackground Like many cockroaches, Argentinian wood roaches, Blaptica dubia, prefer darker shelters over lighter shelters. In three experiments, we asked whether chemical cues from other roaches might influence shelter choice, a process known as ...

Smelling out predators is innate in birds [PDF]
, 2011 The role of olfaction for predation risk assessment remains barely explored in birds, although predator chemical cues could be useful in predator detection under low visibility conditions for many bird species.

A miniaturized bioreactor system for the evaluation of cell interaction with designed substrates in perfusion culture [PDF]
, 2012 In tissue engineering, the chemical and topographical cues within three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds are normally tested using static cell cultures but applied directly to tissue cultures in perfusion bioreactors.

Keeping eyes peeled: guppies exposed to chemical alarm cue are more responsive to ambiguous visual cues [PDF]
, 2016 Information received from the visual and chemical senses is qualitatively different. For prey species in aquatic environments, visual cues are spatially and temporally reliable but risky as the prey and predator must often be in close proximity. Chemical

Responses of Naive Lizards to Predator Chemical Cues [PDF]
Journal of Herpetology, 1995 The ability to recognize chemical cues from predatory snakes is congenital in the common lizard Lacerta vivipara. This conclusion follows from a series of experiments in which we observed the behavior of naive lab-born lizards in terraria that had previously been inhabited by predatory snakes.
