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.

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.

Aggregation Status and Cue Type Modify Tadpole Response to Chemical Cues
Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management, 2014 Abstract Many anuran larvae exhibit an antipredator response to chemical cues released by potential predators. The genus Bufo is no exception, as many bufonids exhibit an antipredator response (e.g., reduction in activity) to the presence (recent and current) of predators.

Tests for attraction to prey and predator avoidance by chemical cues in spiders of the beech forest floor [PDF]
, 2012 Spiders leave draglines, faeces and other secretions behind when traveling through their microhabitat. The presence of these secretions may unintentionally inform other animals, prey as well as predators, about a recent and possible current predation ...

Gq Signaling in Autophagy Control: Between Chemical and Mechanical Cues
Antioxidants, 2022 All processes in human physiology relies on homeostatic mechanisms which require the activation of specific control circuits to adapt the changes imposed by external stimuli. One of the critical modulators of homeostatic balance is autophagy, a catabolic process that is responsible of the destruction of long-lived proteins and organelles through a ...

Similar Response of a Range Expanding Dragonfly to Low- and High-Elevation Predators
Diversity, 2022 Recent range expansion of many species northward and upward in elevation suggests that the expanding species are able to cope with new biotic interactions in the leading edge.

CHEMICAL SIGNALS IN VERTEBRATE PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEMS INVOLVING COMMON MUSK TURTLES, STERNOTHERUS ODORATUS, AND THEIR PREDATORS [PDF]
, 2014 Rathke’s gland secretions (RGS) of Common Musk Turtles have a variety of proposed functions including predator deterrence and attraction, but experimental studies testing these hypotheses are lacking.

Honeydew Is a Food Source and a Contact Kairomone for Aphelinus mali
Insects, 2023 Many parasitoids need to feed on sugar sources at the adult stage. Although nectar has been proven to be a source of higher nutritional quality compared to honeydew excreted by phloem feeders, the latter can provide the necessary carbohydrates for ...

The Role of Adult Fiddler Crab Environmental Acoustic Cues and Chemical Cues in Stimulating Molting of Field-Caught Megalopae [PDF]
, 2017 In mid-Atlantic estuaries, three fiddler crab species, Uca pugilator, Uca pugnax and Uca minax co-occur, with their adults occupying different habitat types distinguished by salinity and sediment size.
