Visual communication stimulates reproduction in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.)

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009
Reproductive fish behavior is affected by male-female interactions that stimulate physiological responses such as hormonal release and gonad development.

Field trials of chemical suppression of embryonic cane toads (Rhinella marina) by older conspecifics

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Laboratory experiments have shown that the viability of embryos of the invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina) can be reduced by exposure to chemical cues from older conspecific larvae.

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

Sensing the difference: the influence of anisotropic cues on cell behavior [PDF]

, 2015
From tissue morphogenesis to homeostasis, cells continuously experience and respond to physical, chemical and biological cues commonly presented in gradients.
