Non‐Consumptive Effects of Cannibalism Elicit a Metabolic Response in Dragonfly Larvae [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Predator–prey interactions typically involve changes in metabolic rates associated with hunting, foraging, and activation/maintenance of defense mechanisms. Similar response can result from non‐consumptive effects mediated by chemical cues, such as alarm

Experiments on the influence of Chaoborus brasiliensis Theobald, 1901 (Diptera: Chaoboridae) on the diel vertical migration of microcrustaceans from Lake Monte Alegre, Brazil Experimentos sobre a influência de Chaoborus brasiliensis (Diptera: Chaoboridae) sobre a migração vertical de microcrustáceos do Lago Monte Alegre, Brasil [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2010
The aim of this work was to evaluate whether diel vertical migration of microcrustaceans from Lake Monte Alegre is related to invertebrate predators, namely larvae of Chaoborus brasiliensis. The hypothesis tested in the experiments was that the migratory
