Trans‐Generational Morphological Trait Plasticity in Parthenogenetic Offspring of Two Brachionus dorcas Morphotypes Induced by Asplanchna Kairomones [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionWe compared trans‐generational (F0–F12) morphological trait plasticity induced by Asplanchna kairomones between two Brachionus dorcas morphotypes (long‐posterior spines, LS; short‐posterior spines, SS) along with life‐table parameters of the non‐induced ...

Repeated exposure to kairomone-containing coffee odor improves abnormal olfactory behaviors in heterozygous oxytocin receptor knock-in mice [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023 The oxytocin receptor (OXTR) knockout mouse is a model of autism spectrum disorder, characterized by abnormalities in social and olfactory behaviors and learning. Previously, we demonstrated that OXTR plays a crucial role in regulating aversive olfactory

Efficacy of Kairomone Lures to Attract Parasitoids of Halyomorpha halys [PDF]
Insects, 2023 In its native range, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) is suppressed by parasitoids in the genus Trissolcus (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae). Trissolcus native to Utah have demonstrated low parasitism of H.

Development of a Kairomone-Based Attractant as a Monitoring Tool for the Cocoa Pod Borer, Conopomorpha cramerella (Snellen) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) [PDF]
Insects, 2022 The cocoa pod borer (CPB), Conopomorpha cramerella, is a major economic pest of cocoa, Theobroma cacao, in Southeast Asia. CPB monitoring programs currently use a costly synthetic pheromone lure attractive to males.

Avoidance and contextual learning induced by a kairomone, a pheromone and a common odorant in female CD1 mice [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 Chemosignals mediate both intra- and inter-specific communication in most mammals. Pheromones elicit stereotyped reactions in conspecifics, whereas kairomones provoke a reaction in an allospecific animal.

A laboratory evaluation of alcohols as attractants for the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera:Psychodidae) [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background The potential attraction from 1-octen-3-ol for sandflies has been documented; however, studies using other primary alcohols are limited. Findings We used a wind tunnel to compare the activation and attractive behaviors in male and female ...
