Expression of ionotropic receptors in terrestrial hermit crab’s olfactory sensory neurons
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Coenobitidae are one out of at least five crustacean lineages which independently succeeded in the transition from water to land. This change in lifestyle required adaptation of the peripheral olfactory organs, the antennules, in order to sense chemical ...

How scent and nectar influence floral antagonists and mutualists
eLife, 2015 Many plants attract and reward pollinators with floral scents and nectar, respectively, but these traits can also incur fitness costs as they also attract herbivores.

Chemical Ecology: Missed Opportunities? [PDF]
Science, 2002 C hemical ecology, a discipline emergent during the past half century, is now an established reality. It is a discipline driven by the recognition that organisms of the most diverse kinds, ranging from microbes to mammals, make use of chemicals to find mates, recruit symbionts, deter enemies, and fend off pathogens.

The chemical ecology of armyworms [PDF]
, 2013 Moths of the genus Spodoptera are economically important pest insects. The necessity to develop novel control strategies which may be included in integrated pest management schemes has led to the study of chemical communication in several species within ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Ecología química y perspectivas de su aplicación en la conservación de la biodiversidad [PDF]
, 2013 Chemical ecology comprises the study of interactions of organisms with their environment that are mediated by the chemicals they produced. In general, chemicals that mediate interactions between organisms are called semiochemicals.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Modulation of legume defense signaling pathways by native and non-native pea aphid clones
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) is a complex of at least 15 genetically different host races that are native to specific legume plants, but can all develop on the universal host plant Vicia faba.
