Gustatory sensilla sensitive to protein kairomones trigger host acceptance by an endoparasitoid

, 2002
Proteins isolated from the host cocoon of Acrolepiopsis assectella (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutoidea) act as kairomones for host acceptance by the endoparasitoid wasp Diadromus pulchellus Wesmael (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae).

The Induced Heart Rate Response to Fish Kairomones in \u3ci\u3eDaphnia pulex\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]

, 2015
Daphnia pulex have been shown to respond to kairomones emitted by predatory Chaoborus and planktivorous fish, though these two groups of predators differ significantly in their predation styles.

Impacts of predator odours and conspecific disturbance cues on minnow thermal tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 3, Page 1786-1799, September 2026.
Abstract Warming waters can affect fish community dynamics, potentially exacerbating predator–prey asymmetries in behavioural and physiological metrics of thermal tolerance. Further, differing responses of prey fish species to concurrent predation risk and warming highlight the need to understand these impacts in various contexts, especially with at ...

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 512-529, September 2026.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Attraction of Phoracantha mastersi (Coloeptera: Cerambycidae) to copulation‐associated olfactory stimuli

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 502-507, August 2026.
Damage caused by Phoracantha mastersi larvae are the primary cause of forest decline in Australia's subalpine forests. Behaviour of male adult beetles was tested in response to a suite of commercial semiochemicals and conspecifics engaged in active copulation within a Y‐maze.

Effect of Commercial Trap Design and Location on Captures of Diocalandra frumenti (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) on Palm Trees

Insects
Diocalandra frumenti (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) is a weevil present in the Canary Islands, affecting economically important palms such as Phoenix canariensis H. Wildpret and its hybrids, for which there were no trapping tools.

Refuge by day, forage by night: Diel activity of vine weevil as characterised by smart monitoring

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 508-514, August 2026.
Vine weevil activity was monitored using a Smart trap, which recorded diel refuge‐seeking behaviour. Increasing light intensity triggered refuge seeking behaviour, while lower light intensity induced forage seeking activity. Understanding vine weevil diel activity can enhance early detection, which can improve the effectiveness of integrated pest ...

Gammarus pulex show a grouping response to conspecific injury cues but not to predator kairomones

, 2015
Many species gain protection from predators by forming groups, but there is also evidence that some predators are better able to detect or more likely to attack grouped prey.
