Response of a generalist and a specialist parasitoid to drosophilid larval kairomones [PDF]
, 1993 Foraging parasitoids are thought to need more specific information than generalists on the presence, identity, availability, and suitability of their insect host species.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Slash retention increased ambrosia beetle activity in Khaya grandifoliola, acting as both breeding substrate and source of attractive volatile cues that promoted localized population buildup. Beetle attacks occurred only near retained slash, while no attacks were recorded in slash‐removal plots, demonstrating that residue removal effectively prevents ...

Chaoborus and gasterosteus anti-predator responses in Daphnia pulex are mediated by independent cholinergic and gabaergic neuronal signals. [PDF]
, 2012 Many prey species evolved inducible defense strategies that protect effectively against predation threats. Especially the crustacean Daphnia emerged as a model system for studying the ecology and evolution of inducible defenses. Daphnia pulex e.g.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 It has long been known that the behavior of an animal can be affected by odors from another species. Such interspecific effects of odorous compounds (allelochemics) are usually characterized according to who benefits (emitter, receiver, or both) and the ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

Hyalella Amphipod Species Reduce Activity in the Presence of Fish Kairomones [PDF]
, 2021 Behaviors and fitness of freshwater prey species can be shaped by their responses to predator kairomones, but it is often unclear which environmental factors mediate these responses and how the responses vary among species.

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2017 The introduction of invasive species leading to decline of freshwater fauna is a major concern for conservation biologists. In this study we examined the effect of introduced Tilapia on the survival of the loach Lepidocephalichthys thermalis via ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9998-10010, October 2026.Species‐specific PCR primers and PCR‐based assays were designed for the identification of 15 economically important and difficult to distinguish wireworm pests in Canada. PCR specificity testing and performance assessments confirm the accuracy of the assays.

Behavioral responses to fish kairomones and autotomy in a damselfly
, 2006 The threat-sensitivity hypothesis predicts that prey species assess and adjust their behavior in accordance with the magnitude of the threat posed by a predator.
