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

Identification of pyridine analogs as new predator-derived kairomones. [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 In the wild, animals have developed survival strategies relying on their senses. The individual ability to identify threatening situations is crucial and leads to increase in the overall fitness of the species.

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 ...

Acidification and γ-aminobutyric acid independently alter kairomone-induced behaviour [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Exposure to high pCO2 or low pH alters sensation and behaviour in many marine animals. We show that crab larvae lose their ability to detect and/or process predator kairomones after exposure to low pH over a time scale relevant to diel pH cycles in ...

Niche Breadth and Olfactory Context Shape Informed Passive Dispersal. [PDF]
Ecol LettExperimental evolution reveals that niche breadth modulates informed passive dispersal in phytophagous mites through divergent strategies. While generalists optimise take‐off based on target cue familiarity and signal‐to‐noise ratios, specialists primarily track current host quality to trigger departure.

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.

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 ...
