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.

Blood cues induce antipredator behavior in Nile tilapia conspecifics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In this study, we show that the fish Nile tilapia displays an antipredator response to chemical cues present in the blood of conspecifics. This is the first report of alarm response induced by blood-borne chemical cues in fish.

Olfaction scaffolds the developing human from neonate to adolescent and beyond [PDF]
, 2020 The impact of the olfactory sense is regularly apparent across development. The foetus is bathed in amniotic fluid that conveys the mother’s chemical ecology.

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.

Sex recognition by odour and variation in the uropygial gland secretion in starlings [PDF]
, 2012 1. Although a growing body of evidence supports that olfaction based on chemical compounds emitted by birds may play a role in individual recognition, the possible role of chemical cues in sexual selection of birds has been only preliminarily studied.2 ...

PLoS ONE, 2020 The fitness of a predator depends upon its ability to locate and capture prey; and thus, increasing dietary specialization should favor the evolution of species-specific foraging tactics tuned to taxon-specific habitats and cues.

Superimposed topographic and chemical cues synergistically guide neurite outgrowth [PDF]
Lab on a Chip, 2013 Guidance of neuronal extensions is a complex process essential for linking neurons into complex functional networks underlying the workings of the neural system. Decades of research have suggested the ability of neuronal growth cones to integrate multiple types of cues during the extension process, but also have raised numerous still unanswered ...

Use of habitat odour by host-seeking insects [PDF]
, 2017 Locating suitable feeding or oviposition sites is essential for insect survival. Understanding how insects achieve this is crucial, not only for understanding the ecology and evolution of insect–host interactions, but also for the development of ...

Chemical Cues that Guide Female Reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
J Chem Ecol, 2018 Chemicals released into the environment by food, predators and conspecifics play critical roles in Drosophila reproduction. Females and males live in an environment full of smells, whose molecules communicate to them the availability of food, potential mates, competitors or predators.

Chemical cues for sea lamprey migration [PDF]
Nature Chemical Biology, 2005 During the past century, the sea lamprey colonized the Great Lakes of North America and decimated the commercial fishing industry. The isolation and characterization of a migratory pheromone from the sea lamprey expands options for control of this invading species.
