Behavioral consequences of plant invasion: an invasive plant alters rodent antipredator behavior [PDF]
Antipredator behavior is an important aspect of predator–prey dynamics and prey survival, and invasive species are becoming an increasing threat to ecosystems worldwide. Although these 2 concepts are frequently connected in terms of invasive predators and nao ¨ve prey, other effects of invasive species, such the creation of novel habitats by invasive ...

Plant behavior upon contact with streptomycetes [PDF]
Plants have a variety of chemical and anatomical defences, whose strengths depend on biotic and environmental influences. We show here that root inoculation with belowground bacteria, filamentous gram-positive streptomycetes, can induce plant defence responses.
