Sea Hares Use Novel Antipredatory Chemical Defenses [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 Numerous studies have demonstrated that chemical defenses protect prey from predation and have often assumed that these defenses function by repelling predators. Surprisingly, few have investigated the mechanisms whereby predators are affected by these defenses.

Integrative Biology: Sea Hares Saved by a Delicious Distraction [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 When threatened, sea hares secrete ink and opaline. This mixture has now been shown to act on peripheral chemosensory neurons of spiny lobsters, stimulating feeding-related behaviours as a deceptive method of avoiding predation.
