Entomopathogenic nematodes increase predation success by inducing cadaver volatiles that attract healthy herbivores

Herbivore natural enemies protect plants by regulating herbivore populations. Whether they can alter the behavior of their prey to increase predation success is unknown. We investigate if and how infection by the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora changes the behavior of healthy...
