Predator-secreted sulfolipids induce defensive responses in C. elegans.
Zheng Liu,Maro J. Kariya,Christopher D. Chute,Amy K. Pribadi,Amy K. Pribadi,Sarah G Leinwand,Ada Tong,Kevin P. Curran,Neelanjan Bose,Frank C. Schroeder,Jagan Srinivasan,Sreekanth H. Chalasani,Sreekanth H. Chalasani +12 more
TL;DR: Functional homology of the delineated signaling pathways and abolishment of predator-evoked C. elegans responses by the anti-anxiety drug sertraline suggests a likely conserved or convergent strategy for managing predator threats.
Chemical mating cues in C. elegans.
TL;DR: Chemical signals that govern mating behavior in C. elegans will be discussed, from the existence and identification of mating cues, to the neurons involved in the behavioral response, highlighting the importance of mate attraction in a primarily hermaphroditic population.

Co-option of neurotransmitter signaling for inter-organismal communication in C. elegans
Jagan Srinivasan,Christopher D. Chute,Elizabeth M. DiLoreto,Ying K. Zhang,Diego Hernán Rayes,Veronica L. Coyle,Hee June Choi,Mark J. Alkema,Frank C. Schroeder +8 more
TL;DR: The TYRA-2/osas#9 signaling system thus represents an inter-organismal communication channel that evolved via co-option of a neurotransmitter and its cognate receptor.
