TLDR
Results suggest that the sinus gland contains a proteinaceous factor that can control feeding in Uca pugilator, a deposit-feeding semiterrestrial crab.

Dual antennular chemosensory pathways mediate odor-associative learning and odor discrimination in the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus

TL;DR: Results indicate overlap and redundancy in the function of these two chemosensory pathways in odor-associative learning and odor discrimination, but these pathways also complement each other to enable better discrimination.

Environmental regulation of foraging in the sand fiddler crab Uca pugilator (Bosc 1802)

TL;DR: Physical factors (sediment water content), rather than biological factors (food content), are responsible for temporal patchiness of the foraging environment of fiddler crabs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-way analysis of trace elements in fish otoliths to track migratory patterns

TL;DR: Multidimensional patterns were discovered in the trace element measurements indicating that migratory patterns of individual striped bass can be tracked from the time-dependent trace element record deposited in the otoliths, indicating migration between freshwater and marine conditions at one or more periods during life.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Relationship Between Predator Activity State and Sensitivity to Prey Odor.

TL;DR: Chemical stimuli appear principally to modulate searching by predators already aroused rather than to initiate foraging or feeding from the quiescent state, and are likely to substantially overestimate the concentrations needed to evoke responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical Attractants in Horseshoe Crab, Limulus polyphemus, Eggs: The Potential for an Artificial Bait

TL;DR: The tools of modern biotechnology offer the potential to produce this attractant in a system independent of the horseshoe crab, providing an ecologically sound alternative for commercial eel and whelk fisheries.

Crustacean Color-Change Hormone: Amino Acid Sequence and Chemical Synthesis

TL;DR: The blanching hormone of the prawn, Pandalus borealis, is pGlu-Leu-Asn-Phe-Ser-Pro-Gly-Trp-NH2 and its structure was settled by a combination of mass spectrometry and Edman-dansyl analysis of a thermolysin fragment.

Amino acid sequence of the crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) from the shore crab, Carcinus maenas.

TL;DR: Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone was isolated from sinus glands of Carcinus maenas, and its primary structure was determined by manual microsequencing, using the DABITC‐PITC double‐coupling method.

Vitellogenesis and Its Control in Malacostracan Crustacea

TL;DR: The correlation between molt cycle and secondary vitellogenesis would be established in this way because the neurohormones would control the formation of functional secondary follicles during the reproductive season.

Structure of a light-adapting hormone from the shrimp, Pandalus borealis

TL;DR: The structure of a light-adapting hormone of the shrimp, Pandalus borealis, has been determined by sequence analysis by the dansyl-Edman method of the intact hormone and of isolated tryptic and thermolytic peptides.
