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.

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.

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.

Multimodal Signaling in Myrmecophilous Butterflies
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Ant nests and their surrounding territories represent a hoard of trophic resources, as well as of stable and protected environments for many arthropods involved in commensal, mutualistic, or parasitic associations.

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.

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 We tested whether Shoshone pupfish Cyprinodon nevadensis shoshone and Amargosa River pupfish C. n. amargosae respond behaviourally to conspecific chemical alarm cues released when epidermal tissue is damaged by a predator.

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
