Chemical signals mediate many of life's processes. For organisms that use these signals to
orient and navigate in their environment, where and when these cues are encountered is …

Chemical signals connect most of life's processes, including interorganismal relationships.
Detection of chemical signals involves not only recognition of a spectrum of unique …

Previous studies in taxonomically diverse marine animals have established the general
existence, and importance, of the olfactory sense in a wide variety of behavioral processes …

Using odors to find food and mates is one of the most ancient and highly conserved
behaviors. Arthropods from flies to moths to crabs use broadly similar strategies to navigate …

The acquisition of information from sensory systems is critical in mediating many ecological
interactions. Chemosensory signals are predominantly used as sources of information about …

The first step in processing olfactory information, before neural filtering, is the physical
capture of odor molecules from the surrounding fluid. Many animals capture odors from …

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

There is an increasing recognition within the aquaculture industry that understanding the
behaviour of farmed animals can help provide solutions to feeding problems. However, most …

Malacostracan crustaceans display a large diversity of sizes, morphs and life styles.
However, only a few representatives of decapod taxa have served as models for analyzing …

Many animals find distant unseen resources by guiding their locomotion through fluid media,
using olfactory information acquired from plumes of odorant molecules issuing from the …
