Schreckstoff: Hypotheses for the evolution of schreckstoff, Background & Schreckstoff in ostariophysans

In 1938, the Austrian ethologist Karl von Frisch made his first report on the existence of the chemical alarm signal known as Schreckstoff (fright substance) in minnows. An alarm signal is a response produced by an individual, the "sender", reacting to a hazard that warns other animals, the receivers, of danger. This chemical alarm signal is released…
