Across species, animals organize into social dominance hierarchies that serve to decrease
aggression and facilitate survival of the group. Neuroscientists have adopted several model …

This manuscript reviews the chemical ecology of two of the major aquatic animal models,
fish and crustaceans, in the study of chemoreception. By necessity, it is restricted in scope …

Ecological disasters resulting from oil spills have created a great need to find more efficient
materials for oil spill cleanup. This research highlights the use of a novel macroporous …

Chemical communication is a widespread phenomenon in aquatic animals but is difficult to
investigate because the signals are not visible. Here, we present the results of a study into …

Many arthropods capture odorant molecules from the environment using antennae or
antennules bearing arrays of chemosensory hairs. The penetration of odorant-carrying water …

Aggressive contests probably occur in networking environments where information about
fighting ability is conveyed both to an opponent and to individuals peripheral to the fight …

Using aggressive behavior, animals of many species establish dominance hierarchies in
both nature and the laboratory. Rank in these hierarchies influences many aspects of …

Chemical cues mediate many critical life processes, such as feeding, reproduction, and
benthic settling, for aquatic organisms. Depending on the fluid velocity and flow regime …

Background The urine of freshwater fish species investigated so far acts as a vehicle for
reproductive pheromones affecting the behaviour and physiology of the opposite sex …
