Behavioral responses to odors from other species: introducing a complementary model of allelochemics involving vertebrates

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

The behaviour–performance continuum: how does individual variation in locomotor abilities relate to behaviour?

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 486-518, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A series of terminological, technical, conceptual, and statistical challenges present themselves when trying to study correlations between measures of performance abilities (what an animal can do) and behavioural traits (what an animal chooses to do).

Effects of the invasive Tilapia on the Common Spiny Loach (Cypriniformes: Cobitidae: Lepidocephalichthys thermalis) - implications for conservation

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

A male-produced aggregation-sex pheromone of the beetle Arhopalus rusticus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae, Spondylinae) may be useful in managing this invasive species. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The longhorned beetle Arhopalus rusticus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae, Spondylinae) is a common species in conifer forests of the Northern Hemisphere, but with global trade, it has invaded and become established in New Zealand, Australia, and South America.

Operational sex ratio bias due to sex‐specific cohort splitting in response to predation

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The operational sex ratio (OSR), that is, the local ratio of fertilizable females to sexually active males at any given time, is of key importance for the strength of sexual selection and the reproduction of populations. We hypothesize that sex‐specific cohort splitting, that is, when one sex mostly metamorphoses while the other mostly enters ...

The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 2, January 2026.
Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.

Vibrational Signals for Mating Disruption Do Not Negatively Affect Grapevine Growth and Production

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vibrational mating disruption (VMD) is a promising strategy to control Scaphoideus titanus populations in vineyards, and it is based on the prolonged application of a species‐specific disturbance vibrational signal (DVS) on grapevines. Plants can react by different transcriptional, physiological, and morphological changes, according to the source and ...
