Divergent responses in morphology and life history to an Asplanchna kairomone between attached and free-swimming Brachionus dorcas (Rotifera)
In the presence of the predatory rotifer Asplanchna , some Brachionus and Keratella species develop inducible morphological, behavioral, and life...

(R)-(+)-γ-Decalactone is Conserved in North America as a Pheromone Component of Osmoderma eremicola (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) and a Kairomone of Elater abruptus (Coleoptera: Elateridae)
The scarab genus Osmoderma (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) includes several large species called hermit beetles that develop within dead and decaying...

Trap** of Retrachydes thoracicus thoracicus (Olivier) and Other Neotropical Cerambycid Beetles in Pheromone- and Kairomone-Baited Traps
The subfamily Cerambycinae, one of the most diverse in longhorn beetles, is well known for its remarkable chemical parsimony in male-emitted...

Inter-population variation and phenotypic plasticity in kairomone use by a poly-specialist spider-eating predator
Previous research on Cyrba algerina (Araneae, Salticidae) has shown this jum** spider expresses predatory specialisation with respect to spiders as...

Age-based changes in kairomone response mediate task partitioning in stingless bee soldiers (Tetragonisca angustula)
AbstractCollective defense is one of the most ubiquitous behaviors performed by social groups. Because of its importance, complex societies may...

Changes to volatile profiles of arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis, from drought and insect infestation: olfactory cues for the cypress bark beetle, Phloeosinus aubei
The cypress bark beetle, Phloeosinus aubei (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) prefers to build breeding galleries in decaying host trees....

Do omnivorous black bullhead (Ameiurus melas) and planktivorous common bleak (Alburnus alburnus) elicit different inducible defences in Daphnia magna?
The aim of this study was to explore whether the widespread zooplankter Daphnia magna is able to differentiate between the kairomones of...

Chemical Communication and Semiochemical Recognition in Frogs: From Eggs to Adults
Semiochemicals, such as sex pheromones or predator kairomones, trigger inter- and intraspecific interactions among animals. With more than 7500...

Enhanced sensitivity to an insecticide carbaryl in Daphnia magna mediated by fish kairomone
Fish kairomone-exposed Daphnia produce smaller offspring than unexposed mothers. These smaller offspring are expected to be more vulnerable to...

Inducible morphological defense in Daphnia pulex: food quantity effects revised
In aquatic systems, organisms largely rely on chemical cues to perceive information about the presence of predators or prey. Daphnia recognize the...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of two Daphnia galeata genotypes displaying contrasting phenotypic variation induced by fish kairomones in the same environment of the Han River, Korea
BackgroundPhenotypic plasticity is a crucial adaptive mechanism that enables organisms to modify their traits in response to changes in their...

Does intraspecific variation in Trissolcus japonicus affect its response to non-target hosts?
Host specificity is a key criterion for the implementation of any biological control program. In parasitoid wasps, host specificity is mediated by...

Adaptation of a prey population to increasing predation risks
To test the hypotheses that multigenerational predation risk favors clones with longer postero-lateral spines and a larger body, and that fitness...

Blue LED trap and commercial lure improve western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) monitoring in cucumber crops
Blue sticky traps contribute substantially to monitoring the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), in...

Heterologous expression and functional characterization of Drosophila suzukii OR69a transcript variants unveiled response to kairomones and to a candidate pheromone
Drosophila suzukii is a main pest of berries on all continents. Population control relies on insecticides and a current research challenge is to...

Using semiochemicals to predict biotic resistance and facilitation of introduced species
Invasive species are leading causes of biodiversity loss and economic damage. Prevention and management of invasions requires risk assessments based...

Effects of the invasive fish Poecilia reticulata on the behavioral response of Daphnia pulex to the exotic submerged macrophyte Egeria densa
The high-elevation plateaus of the inter-Andean valleys are home to shallow lakes that have become eutrophic. These lakes share similarities with...
