Collective Epithelial Cell Migration in vitro Driven by Mechanical and Chemical Cues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cells in vivo respond to chemical and mechanical cues in the environment. In fact, it is the resulting migration of cells as a cohesive group that underlies embryonic morphogenesis, wound repair and cancer tumour development and invasion. Techniques have

Conspecific and heterospecific cueing in shelter choices of Blaptica dubia cockroaches [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Background 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 ...

Acquired predator recognition via epidermal alarm cues but not dietary alarm cues by isolated pupfish

open access: yesRoyal 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.
