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.

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.

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.

Consequences of temperature and temperature variability on swimming activity, group structure, and predation of endangered delta smelt [PDF]
, 2019 The effects of water temperature on individual and group movement behaviour in prey fish can affect ecological interactions such as competition and predation, but how variability in temperature influence fish behaviour is less understood.

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 ...

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.

Synergistic effects of physical and chemical guidance cues on neurite alignment and outgrowth on biodegradable polymer substrates [PDF]
, 2002 This article demonstrates that directional outgrowth of neurites is promoted by applying a combination of physical and chemical cues to biodegradable polymer substrates.

Antipredator behavior and cue recognition by multiple Everglades prey to a novel cichlid predator [PDF]
, 2011 Novel predator introductions are thought to have a high impact on native prey, especially in freshwater systems. Prey may fail to recognize predators as a threat, or show inappropriate or ineffective responses.
