Modern agriculture often involves the use of pesticides to protect crops. These substances
are harmful to target organisms (pests and pathogens). Nevertheless, they can also damage …

Parasite‐induced alteration of host behaviour is a widespread transmission strategy among
pathogens. Understanding how it works is an exciting challenge from both a mechanistic …

in deficits in feeding behavior that persist in the adult animals (D. Biron, unpublished results). …

Background The honeybee, Apis mellifera, is undergoing a worldwide decline whose origin
is still in debate. Studies performed for twenty years suggest that this decline may involve …

The thermotactic behaviors of Caenorhabditis elegans indicate that its thermosensory system
exhibits exquisite temperature sensitivity, long-term plasticity, and the ability to transform …

In ecosystems, a variety of biological, chemical and physical stressors may act in combination
to induce illness in populations of living organisms. While recent surveys reported that …

… Such a function is F:D→ 0,1 where D is a set of N domain values or states and the preimages
of the value 1 are called the marked states. The problem is to identify one of the marked …

Caenorhabditis elegans navigates thermal gradients by using a behavioral strategy that is
regulated by a memory of its cultivation temperature (T c ). At temperatures above or around …
