Identification of pyridine analogs as new predator-derived kairomones. [PDF]
In the wild, animals have developed survival strategies relying on their senses. The individual ability to identify threatening situations is crucial and leads to increase in the overall fitness of the species.

Acidification and γ-aminobutyric acid independently alter kairomone-induced behaviour [PDF]
Exposure to high pCO2 or low pH alters sensation and behaviour in many marine animals. We show that crab larvae lose their ability to detect and/or process predator kairomones after exposure to low pH over a time scale relevant to diel pH cycles in ...

Kairomones - important substances in interspecific communication in vertebrates: a review [PDF]
Interspecies chemical communication is widespread among many groups of organisms, including vertebrates. Kairomones belong to a group of intensively researched substances, represent means for interspecific chemical communication in animals and bring ...

Olfactory responses of Habrobracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and its host plant [PDF]
Semiochemicals play a key role on host selection of parasitoids. Responses of parasitoid wasp, Habrobracon hebetor (Say), to volatiles emitted from Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller larva, pomegranate as its host plant and herbivorous induced plant volatiles

Recently, the first chemical cues, which induce defenses in freshwater zooplankton of the genus Daphnia have been identified. Still it is unknown how general these so-called kairomones are and if they are perceived by and thereby benefitting invasive ...

Prey species can respond to the presence of predators by inducing phenotypic plastic traits which form morphological, life history or behavioral defenses. These so-called inducible defenses have evolved within a cost-benefit framework.

Cucurbitacins as kairomones for diabroticite beetles [PDF]
The characteristic bitter substances of the Cucurbitaceae act as kairomones for a large group of diabroticite beetles (Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae, Luperini), promoting host selection and compulsive feeding behavior. These beetles (e.g., Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi ) respond to as little as 1 ng of ...

Kairomone-like activity of bile and bile components: A step towards revealing the chemical nature of fish kairomone [PDF]
AbstractDespite the efforts of a number of research groups worldwide, we still have a poor understanding of the chemical nature of the fish kairomones which induce defensive morphology, life history and behavior in their planktonic prey. Bile excreted by foraging fish play a crucial role in their signaling systems.
