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.

Effects of the invasive Tilapia on the Common Spiny Loach (Cypriniformes: Cobitidae: Lepidocephalichthys thermalis) - implications for conservation

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
The introduction of invasive species leading to decline of freshwater fauna is a major concern for conservation biologists.  In this study we examined the effect of introduced Tilapia on the survival of the loach Lepidocephalichthys thermalis via ...

Eliciting a predatory response in the eastern corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) using live and inanimate sensory stimuli: implications for managing invasive populations [PDF]

, 2014
North America's Eastern corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) has been introduced to several islands throughout the Caribbean and Australasia where it poses a significant threat to native wildlife. Invasive snake control programs often involve trapping with

Xenohormesis: Sensing the Chemical Cues of Other Species [PDF]

Cell, 2008
Many plant molecules interact with and modulate key regulators of mammalian physiology in ways that are beneficial to health, but why? We propose that heterotrophs (animals and fungi) are able to sense chemical cues synthesized by plants and other autotrophs in response to stress.

Putative chemical cue from Gyrodactylus-infected guppies subtly alters behaviour but prior exposure decreases parasite intensity

Parasitology, 2023
The reliance on chemical communication is well established for evading predation in aquatic systems. Only a few studies have found evidence that chemical cues released from aquatic animals infected with parasites alter behaviour.

Ocean acidification affects marine chemical communication by changing structure and function of peptide signalling molecules [PDF]

, 2016
Ocean acidification is a global challenge that faces marine organisms in the near future with a predicted rapid drop in pH of up to 0.4 units by the end of this century.

Oviposition in the blood-sucking insect Rhodnius prolixus is modulated by host odors [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Triatomine bugs are blood-sucking insects, vectors of Chagas disease. Despite their importance, their oviposition behavior has received relatively little attention. Some triatomines including Rhodnius prolixus stick their eggs to a substrate.

Sight in a Clique, Scent in Society: Plasticity in the Use of Nestmate Recognition Cues Along Colony Development in the Social Wasp Polistes dominula

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Nestmate recognition, i.e., the ability to discriminate nestmates from foreign individuals, is a crucial feature of insect societies, and it has been traditionally considered to be predominantly based on chemical cues. Recent empirical evidence, however,

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 ...
