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.

Dietary-dependent cross-species similarities in maternal chemical cues☆

Physiology & Behavior, 1977
Acomys cahirinus pups preferred chemical cues from conspecific lactating females maintained on the maternal diet as compared to such cues from females fed an unfamiliar diet. Likewise, chemical cues from maternal diet Mus musculus were preferred over those from unfamiliar diet conspecific females.

Chemical-Cue Preferences of Inexperienced Snakes: Comparative Aspects

Science, 1967
Different species of new-born, previously unfed snakes will respond with tongue flicking and prey-attack behavior to water extracts of the skin substances of various small animals. However, there are clear species differences in the type of extract responded to by previously unfed snakes, even within the same genus.

LIGHT AND CHEMICAL CUES TRIGGER BIBLICAL SWARMS

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012
![Figure][1] Locusts are known for their striking demonstration of the power of epigenetics. Changes in population density cue a sudden shift in their physical form between a smaller, greener, solitary phase and a larger, darker, gregarious phase by changing the expression of their genes.

Spatial gradient detection of chemical cues by catfish

Journal of Comparative Physiology ? A, 1980
1. Unrestrained brown bullhead catfish (Ictalurus nebulosus) were trained to turn toward the higher concentration when two concentrations of a mixture of amino acids were simultaneously flowed over the cutaneous taste epithelium on the right and left maxillary barbels. 2.

Effects of fish chemical cues on tadpole survival

Ecological Research, 2003
The indirect effects of goldfish chemical cues on tadpole survival and predation by other predators (e.g. dragonfly nymph and crayfish) were tested in a field experiment. Fish chemical cues were found to affect tadpole survival when dragonfly nymphs were present. In contrast, this indirect effect was not detected in the presence of crayfish.

Juvenile toads avoid chemical cues from snake predators

Animal Behaviour, 1997
Abstract Chemical senses mediate several anuran behaviours, including predator avoidance by larval frogs. Predation by garter snakes is an important influence on the survival of post-metamorphic, juvenile toads ( Bufo sp.). Studies have shown that visual, rather than chemical, cues are important for predator avoidance in post-metamorphic juvenile ...

Chemical Cues in Marine Invertebrate Larval Settlement

2020
Settlement and metamorphosis constitute, arguably, the most complex period in the life history of marine invertebrate larvae. Chemical cues that induce settlement provide a mechanism to assure larval recruitment into a suitable habitat. This chapter provides a brief overview of chemical cues that induce or inhibit settlement of marine invertebrate ...

The Hydrodynamics of Chemical Cues Among Aquatic Organisms

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2009
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, released chemicals are transported via diffusion, laminar advection, or turbulent advection prior to organism reception.
