...These induced defenses lower gastropod fitness when they are forced to feed on induced individuals (Toth et al. 2005), and in the field, gastropods colonizing induced plants move from them more rapidly than those colonizing uninduced plants (Borell et al. 2004)....

...Although the microbial symbiont occurs in adult colonies, it is most abundant in branches with brooded larvae and it appears to make bryostatins that are concentrated onto larval surfaces (Sharp et al. 2007)....

...…to chemical cues from specific hosts, or corals that settle in response to chemical traits of specific crustose coralline algae, or of soft-substrate animals that recruit to or avoid sands treated with specific chemical cues or extracts (e.g., Pawlik 1992, Krug & Manzi 1999, Hadfield & Paul 2001)....

...…stimulating feeding once prey have been contacted; compounds responsible for attraction from a distance have rarely been investigated for adult specialist consumers [compounds that cue larval settlement have been investigated; see Pawlik (1992), Krug & Manzi (1999), and Hadfield & Paul (2001)]....

...Dreanno et al. (2006) recently reported that the cue for settlement of Balanus amphitrite is a glycoprotein that shares a 30% sequence homology with the thioestercontaining family of proteins that includes the alpha(2)-macroglobulins....

...A deeper appreciation for these chemical mechanisms will further our fundamental understanding of the ecological processes that structure marine systems, their relative importance in selecting for present day traits, and how these processes combine to determine the structure of marine communities....
