THE ART OF WAR: PATTERNS AND MECHANISMS UNDERLYING PREDATOR-INDUCED PLASTICITY OF AMPHIBIANS [PDF]
, 2013 Organisms often employ phenotypic plasticity as a strategy to cope with variable environments. This is particularly true of predation threats, wherein prey induce defenses to reduce detection or capture by predators.

Trapping of the malaria vector with odour-baited MM-X traps in semi-field conditions in western Kenya [PDF]
, 2006 Background - The successful development of odour-baited trapping systems for mosquitoes depends on the identification of behaviourally active semiochemicals, besides the design and operating principles of such devices.

Visual Cues Can Alter the Behavioural Responses of Dragonfly Larvae to Chemical Alarm Cues
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 349-358, May 2026.Using a controlled experimental approach, we examined how chemical and visual cues influence antipredator behaviour in Aeshna cyanea larvae and tested whether risk‐related information can be socially transmitted among nearby conspecifics. Our results show that dragonfly larvae do not copy the antipredator responses of others, but visual cues alter how ...

Of Pheromones and Kairomones: What Receptors Mediate Innate Emotional Responses? [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2013 ABSTRACTSome chemicals elicit innate emotionally laden behavioral responses. Pheromones mediate sexual attraction, parental care or agonistic confrontation, whereas predators' kairomones elicit defensive behaviors in their preys. This essay explores the hypothesis that the detection of these semiochemicals relies on highly specific olfactory and/or ...

Tests for attraction to prey and predator avoidance by chemical cues in spiders of the beech forest floor [PDF]
, 2012 Spiders leave draglines, faeces and other secretions behind when traveling through their microhabitat. The presence of these secretions may unintentionally inform other animals, prey as well as predators, about a recent and possible current predation ...
