- Title
Chemical communication in aquatic systems: an introduction.
- Authors
Bronmark, Christer; Hansson, Lars-Anders
- Abstract
Focuses on a prey's use of chemical communication to evade predators in aquatic systems. Lack of olfactory and auditory interactions between predator/prey in aquatic systems, leading to empirical studies to focus only on direct confrontations; Adaptations that allow prey to evade predators in aquatic systems, including camouflage, morphological adaptations that make it harder to capture, and behavioral alterations; Possibility that the detection of chemicals emitted by predators is used by prey as a warning.
