A Comparative Functional Approach to the Host Detection Behaviour of Parasitic Wasps. 1. A Qualitative Study on Eucoilidae and Alysiinae [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
We studied host detection behaviour in Alysiinae (Braconidae; Ichneumonoidea) and Eucoilidae (Cynipoidea), the larvae of which are endoparasitoids of fly larvae and in- vestigated whether this behaviour is determined by their descent or can be considered

Aquatic macroinvertebrate responses to native and non-native predators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Non-native species can profoundly affect native ecosystems through trophic interactions with native species. Native prey may respond differently to non-native versus native predators since they lack prior experience.

Tracking Short-Range Attraction and Oviposition of European Grapevine Moths Affected by Volatile Organic Compounds in a Four-Chamber Olfactometer

open access: yesInsects, 2020
The identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) leading to short-range attraction and oviposition of the European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana and European grape berry moth Eupoecilia ambiguella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is crucial in order to

Predation Risk Perception in Daphnia carinata Induced by the Milt of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Numerous experimental studies suggest that many organisms can sense predation risk and subsequently adjust their life history, behavior, and morphology as adaptations to predators.

Daphnia magna responses to fish kairomone and chlorpromazine exposures

open access: yesChemico-Biological Interactions, 2020
To avoid being preyed, organisms must be able to identify predatory threats by sensing molecules released by predators (kairomones), and to employ effective strategies to prevent detection by predators. Furthermore, in the wild, organisms are also exposed to chemicals that may alter their behavioral traits, such as neuroactive pharmaceuticals ...

PHEROMONE SYNERGISTS AS CO-ATTRACTANT FOR OLFACTORY TRAPPING OF SCAPANES AUSTRALIS BSDV. (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE) PEST OF COCONUT IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA

open access: yesCORD, 2004
Olfactory trapping of Scapanes australis is being studied to develop it to complement existing control methods. Components required were traps, pheromone and pheromone synergist.

Morphological and Histological Features of the Vomeronasal Organ in African Pygmy Hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) detects specific chemicals such as pheromones and kairomones. Hedgehogs (Eulipotyphla: Erinaceidae) have a well-developed accessory olfactory bulb that receives projections from the VNO, but little is known about the hedgehog ...

Cathemerality and Insensitivity to Predatory Fish Cues in Pond Isopods (Caecidotea communis)

open access: yesHydrobiology
Because animals threatened by visually oriented predators may respond in sun-lit daytime but not at night, invertebrate responses to predatory challenges may yield varying results based on the time period within the 24 h daily cycle. We predicted that in

Are light traps baited with kairomones effective in the capture of Lutzomyia longipalpis and Lutzomyia intermedia? An evaluation of synthetic human odor as an attractant for phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2008
Phlebotomine sand flies are often captured with human bait and/or light traps, either with or without an animal bait. More recently, synthetic attractants have been used as bait in traps to improve the capture of phlebotomine sand flies as well as other ...
