DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-83354-2
Abstract: The information that female insects perceive and use during oviposition site selection is complex and varies by species and ecological niche. Even in relatively unexploited niches, females interact directly and indirectly with conspecifics at oviposition… read more here.

Oviposition-site shift in phytophagous mites reflects a trade-off between predator avoidance and rainstorm resistance

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2020.0669
Abstract: Predators can reduce prey population densities by driving them to undertake costly defences. Here, we report on a remarkable example of induced antipredator defence in spider mites that enhances the risk to rainstorms. Spider mites… read more here.

Behavioural flexibility in spider mites: oviposition site shifts based on past and present stimuli from conspecifics and predators

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.170328
Abstract: Predator-experienced individuals often change their predation avoidance response when they re-encounter the same predators or their cues. Recent reports show that behavioural change sometimes occurs even before the re-encounter. To function as an adaptive strategy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eth.12615
Abstract: In egg-laying animals with no post-oviposition parental care, between- or within-patch oviposition site selection can determine offspring survival. However, despite the accumulation of evidence supporting the substantial impact predators have on oviposition site selection, few… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/phen.12368
Abstract: Surface features of plants can influence the searching efficiency and survival of predatory insects. Surfaces act as barriers preventing attachment of both phytophages and also their insect predators. In this regard, we focused on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1643/ce-18-049
Abstract: The ability of organisms to respond adaptively to anthropogenic environmental change is behaviorally mediated, and recent studies indicate that anthropogenic acidification impairs behavioral responses by impacting olfactory abilities of aquatic organisms. The effect on behavior… read more here.
