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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Corals Chemically Cue Mutualistic Fishes to Remove Competing Seaweeds [PDF]
Science, 2012 Keeping Coral Clean Seaweed overgrowth is a major problem for coral reefs and also seems to be a consequence of excessive harvesting of herbivorous fish. Dixson and Hay (p. 804 ) examined this effect on Fijian reefs.
