Response to visual and mechano-acoustic predator cues is robust to ocean warming and acidification and is highly variable in European sea bass

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Predator-prey interactions and, especially, the success of anti-predator responses are modulated by the sensory channels of vision, olfaction, audition and mechanosensation.

Evidence of Cnidarians sensitivity to sound after exposure to low frequency underwater sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Jellyfishes represent a group of species that play an important role in oceans, particularly as a food source for different taxa and as a predator of fish larvae and planktonic prey.

The Sensory and Cognitive Ecology of Nectar Robbing

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Animals foraging from flowers must assess their environment and make critical decisions about which patches, plants, and flowers to exploit to obtain limiting resources. The cognitive ecology of plant-pollinator interactions explores not only the complex

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

Sensory Ecology: See Me, Hear Me [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2007
The animal world is replete with vibrant colours: these are often used as display signals and selection has solved a fundamental problem in information transfer by enhancing the detectability of these signals against the backgrounds on which they are perceived by the particular sensory systems of their receivers.

Marine plastic debris emits a keystone infochemical for olfactory foraging seabirds. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Plastic debris is ingested by hundreds of species of organisms, from zooplankton to baleen whales, but how such a diversity of consumers can mistake plastic for their natural prey is largely unknown.

Air Pollution and the Risk and Progression of Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Air pollution has been linked to several neurological conditions, including stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Evidence regarding its association with multiple sclerosis (MS) remains conflicting, limited by small sample sizes. Methods PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane controlled register of trials (CENTRAL) were searched on ...

Stimulus duration encoding occurs early in the moth olfactory pathway

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Pheromones convey rich ethological information and guide insects’ search behavior. Insects navigating in turbulent environments are tasked with the challenge of coding the temporal structure of an odor plume, obliging recognition of the onset and offset ...

Complementary shifts in photoreceptor spectral tuning unlock the full adaptive potential of ultraviolet vision in birds

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Color vision in birds is mediated by four types of cone photoreceptors whose maximal sensitivities (λmax) are evenly spaced across the light spectrum.
