Recent developments in the functional anatomy and physiology of the fish olfactory system
reveal three parallel pathways from the sensory epithelium, via the olfactory bulb to the …

Most species of fish rely on pheromones (chemical signals released by conspecifics) to
mediate social behaviours. Three categories of pheromones can be discerned based on …

Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the widespread existence of spatio-

We show that reproductively mature male sea lampreys release a bile acid that acts as a
potent sex pheromone, inducing preference and searching behavior in ovulated female …

The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is an expanding and dynamic science.
It is no surprise that the breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with …

The sea lamprey is an ancient, parasitic fish that invaded the Great Lakes a century ago,
where it triggered the collapse of many fisheries. Like many fishes, this species relies on …
