Chemical Defense in Harvestmen (Arachnida, Opiliones): Do Benzoquinone Secretions Deter Invertebrate and Vertebrate Predators?

TL;DR: The results indicate that secretions containing the 1,4-benzoquinones released by G. longipes can be an effective defense against predation, and that the effectiveness of the secretion is dependent on the predator type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lines of defense in the harvestman Hoplobunus mexicanus (Arachnida: Opiliones): Aposematism, stridulation, thanatosis, and irritant chemicals

TL;DR: The lines of defense in the harvestman Hoplobunus mexicanus are reported including the complete chemical characterization of defensive secretion, a morphological description of the ozopore, and a spectrogram of stridulating sounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methylobacterium-plant interaction genes regulated by plant exudate and quorum sensing molecules

TL;DR: Under in vitro conditions, the results showed the differential expression of some important genes related to metabolism, stress and pathogenesis, thereby AHL molecules up-regulate all tested genes, except phoU, while plant exudates induce only mxaF gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Chain Acyl-Homoserine Lactones from Methylobacterium mesophilicum: Synthesis and Absolute Configuration

TL;DR: Antimicrobial assays with synthetic acyl-HSLs against Gram-positive bacterial endophytes co-isolated with M. mesophilicum from CVC-infected trees revealed low or no antibacterial activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical and behavioral defenses of the neotropical harvestman Camarana flavipalpi (Arachnida: Opiliones)

TL;DR: The defensive secretion of the harvestman Camarana flavipalpi (Gonyleptidae) was chemically characterized, revealing the presence of a single, highly volatile component (2-methyl-5-ethyl-phenol).
