- Chemical ecology of predator–prey interactions in aquatic ecosystems: a review and prospectusThe present review is one in the special series of reviews on animal–plant interactions. (2010, unknown): “Moreover, pike-experienced fathead minnows can distinguish the odour of individual northern pike (Esox lucius L., 1758) in an odour mixture of multiple pike, and can further adjust response intensity to the mixed cue according to pike density and proximity (Ferrari et al. 2006a; Fig.”
- Degradation of chemical alarm cues under natural conditions: risk assessment by larval woodfrogs (2007, background): “Different concentrations of cues could indicate that the threat is either closer or further away (distance indicator) or that the stimulus is fresh or partially degraded (temporal indicator) (Ferrari et al. 2006).”
- Predation risk assessment by olfactory and visual cues in a coral reef fish (2008, background): “Moreover, some Wsh respond to both sensory cues with a graded response (e.g., Dupuch et al. 2004; Engstrom-Ost and Lehtiniemi 2004; Zhao and Chivers 2005; Ferrari et al. 2006; Zhao et al. 2006), with chemical cues warning prey of a potential”
- Learning about Danger: Chemical Alarm Cues and Threat‐Sensitive Assessment of Predation Risk by Fishes (2011, background): “Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas, Cyprinidae), for example, are known to distinguish predator size, predator proximity and predator density – all based on predator odours (Kusch et al. 2004; Ferrari et al. 2006b).”
- Can foraging birds assess predation risk by scent (2008, background): “For example, fathead minnows , Pimephales promelas, can detect the density, size and proximity of their predators by chemical cues alone (Kusch et al. 2004; Ferrari et al. 2006).”
