Chemical Cues for Surface Colonization

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2002
Colonization of surfaces in marine benthic environments is often one of the most significant moments in the life history of benthic organisms, representing, for example, a change from a planktonic to a benthic existence, a shift from a mobile to a sessile life form, or the initiation of pathogenesis. Many of the surfaces that are colonized are, in fact,

Chemical mating cues in C. elegans

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2014
In the natural environment it is vital that organisms are capable of locating mates to reproduce and, consequently, increase the diversity of their gene pool. Many species make use of audio and visual communication for mate location. However, the more ancient form of chemical communication is used by all forms of life, from bacteria to mammals.

Behavioral responses to chemical cues by bacteria

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1986
Bacterial chemotaxis presents a model sensory system in which cells modulate the direction of rotation of their flagella in response to gradients of certain chemicals. The chemotactic machinery ofEscherichia coli is currently being systematically reduced to its individual components through the accomplishments of behavioral, physical, genetic ...

Cues and context: Larval responses to physical and chemical cues

Biofouling, 1998
Most marine organisms have a highly specialized larval settlement stage. A major function of the settlement stage is response to environmental input that results in deposition of the larvae in a location which confers probability of survival and successful reproduction.

Are Chemical Alarm Cues Conserved Within Salmonid Fishes?

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2001
A wide diversity of fishes possess chemical alarm signalling systems. However, it is not known whether the specific chemicals that act as alarm signals are conserved within most taxonomic groups. In this study we tested whether cross-species responses to chemical alarm signals occurred within salmonid fishes.

Cue reduction or general cue masking do not underlie generalized chemical camouflage in pirate perch

Ecology, 2022
AbstractAvoiding detection is perhaps the ultimate weapon for both predators and prey. Chemosensory detection of predators via waterborne or airborne cues (predator‐released kairomones) is a key prey adaptation in aquatic ecosystems. Pirate perch, Aphredoderus sayanus, a largely insectivorous mesopredatory fish, are considered to be chemically ...

Responses of spiny mouse weanlings to conspecific chemical cues

Physiology & Behavior, 1979
Twenty-five-day-old A. cahirinus pups (weanlings) were tested for their responses to chemical cues produced by various classes of conspecific agemates. In Experiment 1, both male and female pups preferred bedding soiled by weanlings of either sex over clean bedding material.

Coordinated sensor cueing for chemical plume detection

SPIE Proceedings, 2011
This paper describes an organic data fusion and sensor cueing approach for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) sensors. The Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN) uses a hardware component referred to as the JWARN Component Interface Device (JCID).

Marine biofilms: diversity of communities and of chemical cues

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2018
Summary Surfaces immersed in seawater are rapidly colonized by various microorganisms, resulting in the formation of heterogenic marine biofilms. These communities are known to influence the settlement of algae spores and invertebrate larvae, triggering a succession of fouling events, with significant environmental and economic ...

Stress responses to chemical alarm cues in Nile tilapia

Physiology & Behavior, 2015
In predator–prey encounters between fish in which there is physical trauma to the epidermis of the prey, some species release chemical alarm cues into the water. Fish of the same species may perceive these cues and display antipredator behavior. Physiological adjustments may also be needed to deal with this adverse situation.
