Inducible defenses influence the dynamics of both the prey exhibiting the response and its predator, but it could affect indirectly other populations in the community. Earlier studies concerned with population dynamics of ...

Todo sistema se funda en la interacción entre sus componentes y con el entorno, a partir de las estructuras y funciones de cada uno de ellos. La eficiencia del sistema de Defensa exige definir sus propios componentes y ...

Inducible defenses are a form of phenotypic plasticity that potentially modify direct interactions between various members of an ecological community, generating traitmediated indirect effects. In this work, the hypothesis ...

We characterized the induction of hydroxamic acids (Hx) by aphid infestation in the wild wheat Triticum uniaristatum by addressing the following questions: i) Do different leaves have similar responses to aphid damage?, ...

The midbrain dorsal periaqueductal gray (DPAG) is part of the brain defensive system involved in active defense reactions to threatening stimuli. Corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) is a peptidergic neurotransmitter that ...

It has been reported that, in order to reduce mortality, prey are able to change their phenotype in response to cues released from predators. These short-time responses constitute effective antipredator strategies in ...
