Identification of pyridine analogs as new predator-derived kairomones. [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
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]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2016
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]

open access: yesVeterinární Medicína, 2013
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]

open access: yesنامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2020
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

One Kairomone and Multiple Effects in Daphnia Species—5α-Cyprinol Sulfate Induces Morphological Defenses in the Invasive Species Daphnia lumholtzi

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
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 ...

Higher, Faster, Better: Maternal Effects Shorten Time Lags and Increase Morphological Defenses in Daphnia lumholtzi Offspring Generations

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
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.

Investigations on the Use of Kairomone and Pheromone Attractants for Control of Thrips Species (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) by Mass-trapping in Nectarine Orchards

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Thrips species (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) cause superficial, brown colored scars and discoloration called silvering on the surface of nectarine fruit which reduce market quality.

Cucurbitacins as kairomones for diabroticite beetles [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1980
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]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
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.
