The chemosensory ecology of salt marsh communities

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The chemosensory ecology of salt marsh communities

 

Chemical signals regulate how predators find food and how prey avoid being eaten. As such, the nature and transport of chemical cues in these environments has a strong effect on the organization and function of these communities. This talk will discuss the roles that chemical signal properties, their transport through the fluid environment, and their ecological effects have on interactions in estuarine habits including oyster reefs. The ubiquitous and prevalence of chemically mediated interactions suggests that understanding the role of chemical cues may have important management implications for both oyster aquaculture and conservation.
