Bignoniaceae Metabolites as Semiochemicals
Molecules, 2010 Members of the family Bignoniaceae are mostly found in tropical and neo-tropical regions in America, Asia and Africa, although some of them are cultivated in other regions as ornamentals.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.DNA barcoding enabled the creation of the first large, taxonomically verified barcode library for Polish millipedes, covering 981 individuals and 58 species (62% of the national fauna), with 468 COI sequences. The study reveals potential cryptic diversity, shifts in the Polish diplopod fauna and documents Melogona broelemanni as a species newly ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.This study demonstrates that the complexity of intraspecific alarm cues—specifically, whether they are from a single genetic source or a mixture—acts as a critical environmental filter. While genotype‐specific cues trigger a canonical adaptive “life‐history switch,” mixed cues induce a state of chronic stress, leading to genotype‐specific reprogramming

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8459-8467, September 2026.Host‐associated volatiles mediate host location in Cephalonomia tarsalis, with faecal odours from fourth‐instar larvae, particularly 1‐pentadecene, attracting females and supporting the biological control of stored‐product pest beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding how parasitoids locate their hosts is essential for improving the effectiveness of ...

Predator threat assessment in Daphnia magna: the role of kairomones versus conspecific alarm cues
, 2013 Studying the finely tuned mechanism of predation risk assessment allows for a better understanding of how prey organisms make key decisions under different levels of predation pressure.

Effects of chemical cues and prior experience on predator avoidance in crayfish
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Multisensory stimuli provide organisms with information to assess the threat present in the surroundings. Olfactory cues show dominance over other sensory modalities in the aquatic environment.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

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 ...

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 ...

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.Analysis of volatile and non‐volatile metabolites across three developmental stages (3rd, 4th and 5th instar nymphal stages) of leaf galls induced by Phacopteron lentiginosum on Garuga pinnata revealed that the 3rd stage exhibited the highest chemical diversity and concentration followed by 4th and 5th stages.
