DOI: 10.1007/s10517-017-3943-3
Abstract: We studied the effect of Gly-His -Lys tripeptide administered intraperitoneally in doses of 5, 15, 50 and 150 μg/kg on pain-induced aggressive-defensive behavior. A foot-shock model of aggression in rats grouped in pairs in an… read more here.

Worker Defensive Behavior Associated with Toxins in the Neotropical Termite Neocapritermes braziliensis (Blattaria, Isoptera, Termitidae, Termitinae)

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-019-01098-w
Abstract: Termite societies are abundant in the tropics, and are therefore exposed to multiple enemies and predators, especially during foraging activity. Soldiers constitute a specialized defensive caste, although workers also participate in this process, and even… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/bs.pbr.2022.02.003
Abstract: Innate fear-related behavioral responses have evolved as strategies for survival. The neural circuits responsible for defensive responses, studied mainly in rodents, have been substantially preserved across evolution. Amygdala collects sensory information (visual, auditory and olfactory)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2017.09.021
Abstract: The cerebellum is involved in a wide number of integrative functions. We evaluated the role of cerebellum in peripersonal defensive behavior, as assessed by the so-called hand blink reflex (HBR). Twenty subjects underwent to cerebellar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2022.108979
Abstract: Defensive behavior, a group of responses that evolved due to threatening stimuli, is crucial for animal survival in the natural environment. For defensive measures to be timely and successful, a high arousal state and immediate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2016.11.003
Abstract: Stress is believed to be an important factor mediating animal behavior. Here we explore the relationship between concentrations of a stress hormone and defensive behavior of a snake. The cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus) is an abundant,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41398-020-0856-0
Abstract: The mechanisms by which childhood maltreatment increases anxiety is unclear, but a propensity for increased defensive behavior in rodent models of early life stress (ELS) suggests that work in rodents may clarify important mechanistic details… read more here.

Sexual differences in weaponry and defensive behavior in a neotropical harvestman
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Current Zoology"
DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoy073
Abstract: Abstract Sexual differences in morphology can evolve by sexual selection and/or natural selection. In some species, only males have morphological structures that are used as weapons. Since some weapons may also be used for defensive… read more here.
