How do migrating daphnids cope with fish predation risk in the epilimnion under anoxic conditions in the hypolimnion? [PDF]

, 2017
The vertical distribution of Daphnia in experimental tubes is influenced by fish kairomone concentration in the ‘epilimnion' and oxygen conditions in the ‘hypolimnion'.

Tadpoles in Complex Environments: How Temperature, Desiccation Risk, and Predators Shape Larval Plasticity in a Tropical Frog

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Organisms have often evolved developmental plasticity to cope with environmental heterogeneity, but natural systems are often quite complex and organisms have to assess and respond to variation in multiple environmental factors simultaneously, which at times can elicit opposing or synergistic phenotypic responses.

Exploring the Influence of Insect Honeydew on Plant Physiology and Health: Bridging the Gap in Current Understanding

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Honeydew, a sugary excretion from sap‐feeding insects, significantly influences plant‐insect interactions. While extensive research has examined honeydew's composition, regulation, and role in insect‐plant relationships, its direct effects on plant physiology and health remain understudied.

The potential use of lures for thrips biological control in greenhouses: practice and theory [PDF]

Exploiting the response of thrips pest species to odours has long been a goal for improving thrips pest management including biological control. Applications of attractants could include improved monitoring, push-pull (in conjunction with a repellent ...

The role of volatiles in aggregation and host-seeking of the haematophagous poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae (Acari: Dermanyssidae) [PDF]

, 2010
Infestations with ectoparasitic poultry red mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) pose an increasing threat to poultry health and welfare. Because of resistance to acaricides and higher scrutiny of poultry products, alternative and environmentally safe management

Stronger Antipredatory Vigilance of Prey to Olfactory Cues From Injured Vulnerable Conspecifics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Eggs of spider mites are more vulnerable to predators. Reproductive females of spider mites are more vigilant to olfactory cues from injured eggs compared to that from injured adults and deutonymphs. ABSTRACT Predation risk is a key evolutionary force shaping prey behaviors and life‐history strategies across taxa. Predators often target vulnerable life

Endocrine regulation of predator-induced phenotypic plasticity [PDF]

, 2014
Elucidating the developmental and genetic control of phenotypic plasticity remains a central agenda in evolutionary ecology. Here, we investigate the physiological regulation of phenotypic plasticity induced by another organism, specifically predator ...
