Impacts of the Spotted Spiny Lobster (<i>Panulirus guttatus</i>) on the Long-Spined Sea Urchin (<i>Diadema antillarum</i>) and Patch Reef Communities in the Florida Keys
… mediated impacts, <em>Diadema</em> increased its flight response and consumed significantly less algae in the presence of <em>P. guttatus.</em> However, <em>Diadema</em> did not increase its flight response to <em>P. argus </em>, a known <em>Diadema</em> predator. <em>Panulirus guttatus </em>cues …

Using spatial methods to analyse anthropogenic predation risk and movement ecology of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
… ecology and behaviour of White-tailed deer in response to predation pressure from human hunters in combination with the biotic and abiotic drivers of predation risk and flight response. Giving wildlife managers greater understanding to influence deer populations, and landscapes, in the future.

EVALUATING THE PREDICTIVE VALUE OF BASC-3 ANXIETY SCALE AND WORKING MEMORY INDEX SCORES FOR CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT TEST ANXIETY: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF NON-CLASSIFIABLE CASES
… as often triggering our natural “fight-or-flight” response, which can impact our ability to focus, think clearly, and remember things. For students, test anxiety has been especially challenging, affecting how they perform in high-stakes academic settings. Using data from a university based …

Phenotypic Consequences of Gestation Temperature in the Northern Watersnake, Nerodia Sipedon
… 29°;C. Swimming speed, defensive strikes, and flight response were tested at 1 and 26 weeks of age, and growth was measured until 30 weeks of age. The number of ventral scale rows was higher in snakes from the 26°;C group than from the 29°;C group. Thermal influences were persistent over time …

Variation in Defensive Behaviors of the Western Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon Piscivorus) as a Result of Temperature, Size, and Reproductive Condition
Defensive responses during predatory encounters may vary according to the cost and benefits associated with different predatory contexts. In snakes, defensive behaviors may be influenced by temperature, sex, body size, and reproductive state. In response to human antagonists, the cottonmouth …

An exploration of group dynamics in “stokvels” and its implications on the members’ mental health and psychological well-being.
… suggested that the group dynamics of fight or flight response, trust versus mistrust and dependence versus independence appear to be experienced at polar opposites. The latter further infers the ambivalent behavior that members engage with a view to succeed within the stokvels’ environments. …

Evaluating a Personal Stress Monitoring System
… be considered as a kind of stress. Part of our response to a challenge is physiological and affects our own physical state. When we are faced with a challenge or a threat, our body releases some resources to protect us against them - either to get away as fast as we can, or to fight against …

Interoceptive Interventions: Interfacing with Inner States

Acute Psychological Stress and Food Intake in Humans: A Scoping Review
In response to stress, stress-sensitive systems, including the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) axis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, are activated to enable the individual to engage in the fight-or-flight response resulting in catecholamine (e.g., epinephrine and …

The olfactory basis for attraction of the Bollworm helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to host-plant flowers
… were found to elicit electroantennographic (EAG) responses from the antennae of female H. armigera. Compounds active in GC-EAG analyses of T. erecta floral headspace samples, identified by GC-MS and comparison of retention times on polar and non-polar GC columns with authentic standards, were …

Moths fight back: arms race in the cloud forest
… Moths evolve not only behavioral but acoustic responses to avoid predation by bats. This research examines one small component of a complex, multispecies arm race between moths and bats. In this study we found that the moth Amastus hyalina displayed both flight and acoustic responses to …

Keeping it together: the effect of familiarity, personality, and active interactions on group coordination
… nudging affects group coordination following a flight response to a potential threat. I demonstrated that nudging leads to a higher likelihood of group cohesion and longer group flight times. This shows how active interactions can mediate group responses and affect the ecologically relevant …

Assessing the effect of psychological priming techniques on salivary hormones and physical performance markers
… essential for producing energy due to a stress response from hypoglycemia, exercise, or a fight-or-flight response, and is also essential in the process of muscular hypertrophy. It is also a modulator of status-relevant behavior due to the dual-hormone hypothesis with testosterone. This …
