Chemosensory science, the study of how organisms produce and assess olfactory information, is central to our understanding interact gain information about their environment. Signaling cue identification in aquatic systems lags behind knowledge terrestrial insects due analytical challenges aqueous environments. Unambiguous, reliable, fast behavioral assays evaluate biological activity function a chemosensory are critical understand signaling enable research into ecology, evolution, threats...

The recent identification of uridine diphosphate (UDP) as the female sex-pheromone in European shore crab Carcinus maenas demonstrated not only link between moult and pheromone production, but also how it may have evolved from a ‘simple’ metabolic byproduct. Consequently, is expected to be present other moulting crustaceans, thus raising issues involving species specificity pheromone. Bioassays were conducted using synthetic (UDP, 10 –3 –10 –4 M) examine if induced sexual behaviour...
Abstract Arguably climate change is one of the biggest challenges faced by many organisms. One more significant these decreasing pH level ocean, a consequence increasing amount atmospheric CO 2 being absorbed. With current open ocean 8.15 projected to fall just over 7.6 in 2100, impacts could be devastating for marine species reliant upon olfaction survive. Here, we show that Carcinus maenas (shore crab) can detect and respond presence odour cues from predatory with no between both...
Mate choice and mating preferences often rely on the information content of signals exchanged between potential partners. In species where a female's reproduction is terminal event in life it to be expected that females choose high quality males assess using some honest indicator male quality. The Nereidid polychaete, Neanthes acuminata, exhibits monogamous pairing release eggs by terminates her larval success relies entirely male's ability provide paternal care. As such should have...
Abstract The reproduction of many brachyuran crustaceans involves the formation mating pairs often around time female moult with attraction a sexual partner and behaviour controlled by sex pheromones. In shore crabs, Carcinus maenas , females produce pheromones that are released in urine. High Performance Liquid Chromatography analysis (HPLC) urine shows pheromone, identified as nucleotide uridine diphosphate (UDP), elutes an unresolved peak structurally related nucleotides. We examined...
Abstract Nereis diversicolor is a widely distributed bioturbating ragworm that inhabits the coastal and estuarine regions of Northwestern Europe prey to numerous fish crustacean species. In order for survival, this like many other invertebrate species, needs develop strategies detect and/or escape predators. The worms utilise chemical cues within environment aid predator detection avoidance. Trigonelline Homarine are cyclic betaines both present in variety animals marine including...
Abstract The importance of infaunal bioturbators for the functioning marine ecosystems cannot be overstated. Inhabitants estuarine and coastal habitats are expected to show resilience fluctuations in seawater temperature pH, which adds complexity our understanding effects global change drivers. Further, stress responses may propagated through chemical cues within across species, amplify costs life alter species interactions. Research into molecular mechanisms underlying this has been limited...
Increasing atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are largely absorbed by the world’s oceans, decreasing surface water pH 1 . In combination with increasing ocean temperatures, these changes have been identified as a major sustainability threat to future marine life 2 Interactions between organisms known depend on biomolecules, but influence oceanic their bioavailability and functionality remains unexplored. Here we show that global change significantly impacts two ecological keystone...
