Insects, 2020 The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, is an important pest of stored products. We compared an existing standard commercial trap with five experimental trap designs differing from the status quo in shape, surface texture, and in forced air capability

Do bacteria, not fish, produce ‘fish kairomone’? [PDF]
Journal of Plankton Research, 1998 Fish-associated chemicals enhance phototactic downward swimming in Daphnia. If perch were treated with the antibiotic ampicillin, this enhancement was significantly decreased. Therefore, not fish, but bacteria associated with fish, seem to produce this kairomone.

Phenotypic plasticity of senescence in Daphnia under predation impact: no ageing acceleration when the perceived risk decreases with age [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Recognising the nature of the predation risk, and responding to it accurately, is crucial to fitness. Yet, even the most accurate adaptive responses to predation risk usually entail costs, both immediate and lifelong.

Predator Size Structure Fails to Alter Nonconsumptive Effects in Streams. [PDF]
Ecol EvolStonefly predators caused pervasive nonconsumptive effects on benthic invertebrates in a headwater stream. These effects did not depend on stonefly size structure. Predator biomass may be the key determinant of stonefly induced nonconsumptive effects in streams.

Olfactory response of Habrobracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to Helicoverpa armigera and its two host plants [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2019 The volatiles emitted by herbivorous insects and herbivore-damaged plants play an important role in foraging behaviour of parasitoids that lead to host location of parasitic wasps.

The chemical code for attracting Culex mosquitoes
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Mosquitoes use chemical codes to locate and discriminate among vertebrate hosts to obtain a blood meal. Recent advances have allowed for the identification of the chemical codes used by mosquitoes to locate and discriminate humans from other vertebrate ...

Field Tests of Kairomones to Increase Parasitism of Spruce Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Eggs by \u3ci\u3eTrichogramma\u3c/i\u3e Spp. (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Hexane extracts of spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana, moth scales, applied at 0.04 moth-gram equivalents/branch and at 0.06 moth-gram equivalents/tree, failed to increase parasitism rates of Trichogramma spp.

Herbivore kairomones affect germination speed, seedling growth, and herbivory. [PDF]
OecologiaAbstract Seeds and seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory. Unlike mature plants, which can wait until herbivory is experienced to induce defense, seeds and seedlings face mortality if they wait. Slug mucus functions as a kairomone, a non-attack-related substance emitted by consumers that is detected by

Combined and single effects of pesticide carbaryl and toxic Microcystis aeruginosa on the life history of Daphnia pulicaria [PDF]
, 2010 The combined influence of a pesticide (carbaryl) and a cyanotoxin (microcystin LR) on the life history of Daphnia pulicaria was investigated. At the beginning of the experiments animals were pulse exposed to carbaryl for 24 h and microcystins were ...
