Avoidance and suppression of plant defenses by herbivores and pathogens [PDF]
Journal of Plant Interactions, 2011 Plants are nutritious and hence herbivores and phytopathogens have specialized to attack and consume them. In turn, plants have evolved adaptations to detect and withstand these attacks. Such adaptations we call ‘defenses’ and they can operate either directly between the plant and the plant consumer or indirectly i.e.

C. elegans pathogenic learning confers multigenerational pathogen avoidance [PDF]
, 2018 Abstract The ability to pass on learned information to progeny could present an evolutionary advantage for many generations. While apparently evolutionarily conserved 1–12 , transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI) is not well understood at the molecular or behavioral levels ...

Pathogens are linked to human moral systems across time and space
Current Research in Ecological and Social Psychology, 2022 Infectious diseases have been an impending threat to the survival of individuals and groups throughout our evolutionary history. As a result, humans have developed psychological pathogen-avoidance mechanisms and groups have developed societal norms that ...

Pathogen disgust sensitivity: Individual differences in pathogen perception or pathogen avoidance?
, 2022 Humans differ in their tendency to experience disgust and avoid contact with potential sources of pathogens. Pathogen disgust sensitivity has been used to explain a wide range of social phenomena, such as prejudice, conformity, and trust.

The relationship between meat disgust and meat avoidance—A chicken-and-egg problem
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022 Feelings of disgust toward meat have been researched for at least 30 years, but so far the causal relationship that may link meat disgust and meat consumption has remained elusive. Two possible pathways have been proposed in previous literature: the more

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), a human pathogen, also infects Caenorhabditis elegans. We demonstrated previously that C. elegans activates the p38 MAPK innate immune pathway to defend against EHEC infection. However, whether a C.
