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 ...

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

Morphological and life‐history trait plasticity of two Daphnia species induced by fish kairomones [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionDaphnia can avoid predation by sensing fish kairomones and producing inducible defenses by altering the phenotype. In this study, the results showed that the morphological and life‐history strategies of two Daphnia species (Daphnia pulex and Daphnia ...

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.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 The nervous system is organized to detect, internally represent and process sensory information to generate appropriate behaviors. Despite the crucial importance of odors that elicit instinctive behaviors, such as pheromones and kairomones, their neural ...

Effect of multimodal cues from a predatory fish on refuge use and foraging on an amphidromous shrimp [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Prey can alter their behavior when detecting predator cues. Little is known about which sensory channel, number of channels, or the interaction among channels that shrimp species use to evaluate the threat from predators.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Animal behaviour is closely related to individual fitness, which allows animals to choose suitable mates or avoid predation. The central nervous system regulates many aspects of animal behaviour responses.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Kairomones are chemical signals that mediate interspecific interactions beneficial to organisms that detect the cues. These attractants can be individual compounds or mixtures of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) or herbivore chemicals such as ...

Animals, 2022 In the wild, mice have developed survival strategies to detect volatile cues that warn them of potential danger. Specific olfactory neurons found in the Grueneberg ganglion olfactory subsystem can detect alarm pheromones emitted by stressed conspecifics,
