Diversity, 2017 Predatory release has long been considered a potential contributor to population outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS; Acanthaster spp.). This has initiated extensive searches for potentially important predators that can consume large numbers of ...

Bombardier beetles repel invasive bullfrogs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Invasive non-native predators negatively affect native species; however, some native species can survive the predation pressures of invasive species by using pre-existing antipredator strategies or evolving defenses against invasive predators.

Grasses and the resource availability hypothesis: the importance of silica-based defences [PDF]
, 2007 The resource availability hypothesis (RAH) predicts that allocation of resources to anti-herbivore defences differs between species according to their growth rate.

Cyanogenesis of wild lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is an efficient direct defence in nature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 In natural systems plants face a plethora of antagonists and thus have evolved multiple defence strategies. Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is a model plant for studies of inducible indirect anti-herbivore defences including the production of volatile ...

The relationships between toad behaviour, antipredator defences, and spatial and sexual variation in predation pressure [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Animal behaviour is under strong selection. Selection on behaviour, however, might not act in isolation from other fitness-related traits. Since predators represent outstanding selective forces, animal behaviour could covary with antipredator ...

Differential effects of jasmonic acid treatment of Brassica nigra on the attraction of pollinators, parasitoids, and butterflies [PDF]
, 2008 Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of herbivores as well as that of their natural enemies. Jasmonic acid is one of the key hormones involved in both these direct and indirect induced defences.

A typology of marine and estuarine hazards and risks as vectors of change : a review for vulnerable coasts and their management [PDF]
, 2014 This paper illustrates a typology of 14 natural and anthropogenic hazards, the evidence for their causes and consequences for society and their role as vectors of change in estuaries, vulnerable coasts and marine areas.

CELLULAR RESPONSES TO DNA DAMAGE AND ONCOGENESIS BY THE p53 AND pRb/E2F PATHWAYS
Journal of Dentistry Indonesia, 2015 Cellular responses to stress including DNA damage, show multiple options involving the mechanisms of growth arrest. DNA repair and programmed cell death or apoptosis. Failures in these mechanisms can result in oncogenesis or accelerated senescence.

The Role of Silicon in Antiherbivore Phytohormonal Signalling
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The role of plant silicon (Si) in the alleviation of abiotic and biotic stress is now widely recognised and researched. Amongst the biotic stresses, Si is known to increase resistance to herbivores through biomechanical and chemical mechanisms, although ...
