Behavioral and neurobiological implications of kairomones for rodents: an updated review [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceLike many other vertebrates, rodents communicate via pheromones, which favors intraspecies communication. In contrast, kairomones are semiochemicals involved in interspecific communication, facilitating information between organisms of different species ...

Trans-Generational Morphological Trait Plasticity in Parthenogenetic Offspring of Two <i>Brachionus dorcas</i> Morphotypes Induced by <i>Asplanchna</i> Kairomones. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe compared life‐table parameters and trans‐generation (F0–F12) morphological developmental plasticity induced by Asplanchna kairomones between two Brachionus dorcas morphotypes (long‐posterior spines, LS; short‐posterior spines, SS). The results revealed that the SS offspring employed a synergistic defense combining increased body size and spine ...

Non‐Consumptive Effects of Cannibalism Elicit a Metabolic Response in Dragonfly Larvae [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPredator–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]
Brazilian 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

A Review of the Host Plant Location and Recognition Mechanisms of Asian Longhorn Beetle [PDF]
Insects, 2023 The Asian longhorn beetle (ALB), Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky, is a polyphagous xylophage with dozens of reported host tree species. However, the mechanisms by which individuals locate and recognize host plants are still unknown. We summarize the

Phenotypic and transcriptional response of Daphnia pulicaria to the combined effects of temperature and predation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Daphnia, an ecologically important zooplankton species in lakes, shows both genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in response to temperature and fish predation, but little is known about the molecular basis of these responses and their potential ...

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.

Phenotypic and Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed a Lack of Risk Perception by Native Tadpoles Toward Novel Non‐Native Fish [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe introduction of alien species poses a serious threat to native biodiversity, and mountain lake systems in the southwest of China are particularly vulnerable to the introduction of non‐native fish.

Gut transcriptome of two bark beetle species stimulated with the same kairomones reveals molecular differences in detoxification pathways [PDF]
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022 Dendroctonus bark beetles are the most destructive agents in coniferous forests. These beetles come into contact with the toxic compounds of their host's chemical defenses throughout their life cycle, some of which are also used by the insects as ...
