Ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate inducible defense in the water flea Daphnia pulex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Phenotypic plasticity is the ability held in many organisms to produce different phenotypes with a given genome in response to environmental stimuli, such as temperature, nutrition and various biological interactions.

Cytoplasmic Lipases—A Novel Class of Fungal Defense Proteins Against Nematodes
Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2021 Fungi are an attractive food source for predators such as fungivorous nematodes. Several fungal defense proteins and their protective mechanisms against nematodes have been described.

Alterations in the Helicoverpa armigera midgut digestive physiology after ingestion of pigeon pea inducible leucine aminopeptidase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Jasmonate inducible plant leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) is proposed to serve as direct defense in the insect midgut. However, exact functions of inducible plant LAPs in the insect midgut remain to be estimated.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Phenotypic variation among individuals and species is a fundamental principle of natural selection. In this review, we focus on numerous experiments involving the model species Daphnia (Crustacea) and categorize the factors, especially secondary ones ...

Transgenerational Plasticity in the Context of Predator-Prey Interactions
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Almost all animal species are engaged in predator-prey interactions. These interactions, variable in time and space, favor the emergence and evolution of phenotypic plasticity, which allows prey to fine-tune their phenotype to the current risk of ...

Marine Drugs, 2021 Mechanisms related to the induction of phlorotannin biosynthesis in marine brown algae remain poorly known. Several studies undertaken on fucoid species have shown that phlorotannins accumulate in the algae for several days or weeks after being exposed ...

Ecosphere, 2020 Inducible defense is adaptive when prey organisms cope with fluctuations of predation risk, and there exists ample variations of inducible defense both within a species and between species even in a single habitat. Daphnia, a freshwater zooplankton genus,

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Phytoplankton induce defensive traits in response to chemical alarm signals from grazing zooplankton. However, these signals are potentially vulnerable to changes in pH and it is not yet known how predator recognition may be affected by ocean ...

Predatory cues drive colony size reduction in marine diatoms
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Colony formation is a common feature among nonmotile marine phytoplankton. Several theories exist around the potential benefits of larger colonies. Here, we test the hypothesis that predation is one of the drivers behind colony formation and chain length
