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.

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.

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

Keeping eyes peeled: guppies exposed to chemical alarm cue are more responsive to ambiguous visual cues [PDF]

, 2016
Information received from the visual and chemical senses is qualitatively different. For prey species in aquatic environments, visual cues are spatially and temporally reliable but risky as the prey and predator must often be in close proximity. Chemical

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,

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.

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.

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 ...
