Chemical Cues for Malaria Vectors Oviposition Site Selection:\ud Challenges and Opportunities [PDF]
, 2013 The attractiveness of oviposition site for malaria vector mosquitoes is dependent upon a number of physical and chemical factors. Many aspects of mosquito behavior, including host location and oviposition, are mediated by volatile semiochemicals.

Proteomic analysis of Daphnia magna hints at molecular pathways involved in defensive plastic responses [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Phenotypic plasticity in defensive traits occurs in many species when facing heterogeneous predator regimes. The waterflea Daphnia is well-known for showing a variety of these so called inducible defences.

Hatching with the enemy: Daphnia diapausing eggs hatch in the presence of fish kairomones [PDF]
, 2018 Summary.: Infochemicals are known to play a key role in mediating predator-prey interactions, both in aquatic and terrestrial communities. However, state-dependent variation may exist in how effectively individuals can use this information, depending on ...

Kairomones - important substances in interspecific communication in vertebrates: a review [PDF]
Veterinární 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 benefit to the acceptor of the chemical signal.

Field Testing of Different Chemical Combinations as Odour Baits for Trapping Wild Mosquitoes in The Gambia [PDF]
, 2011 Odour baited traps have potential use in population surveillance of insect vectors of disease, and in some cases for vector population reduction. Established attractants for human host-seeking mosquitoes include a combination of CO2 with L-lactic acid ...

UV radiation affects antipredatory defense traits in Daphnia pulex
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 In aquatic environments, prey perceive predator threats by chemical cues called kairomones, which can induce changes in their morphology, life histories, and behavior.
