Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) relies on a suite of complex chemical cues to mediate the reproductive stage of its complex life cycle. Pheromones are essential to ensure successful reproduction as anosmic individuals fail to locate spawning streams and mates. Three separate sets of pheromones have been characterized in lamprey: 1) A migratory pheromone released by stream resident larvae as metabolic byproducts that attracts adults into suitable spawning streams, 2) a sex pheromone comprised of bile acids released by sexually mature males that attracts females to a male nest and induces a suite of reproductive behaviors, and 3) a pheromone present in milt that is released during spawning events and hypothesized to signal sperm availability to females. In this dissertation, I test the overall hypothesis that different pheromones or their components function in their respective contextual factors (migration vs. reproduction, signaling location, and male spawning status) to influence female behavior and mate preferences. In Chapter 1, I provide a comprehensive review on our current understanding of chemical cues used by sea lamprey, what insights we have gained from management scale tests utilizing chemical cues, and the current unknowns and future research needs that should be addressed in order to implement chemosensory cues into the sea lamprey control program. In Chapter 2, data from field tests confirmed that sensory traps lead to reliable communication as females disassociated sexual and non-sexual signals using a pheromone antagonist during mating but not during reproductive migration. These results also suggest that the pheromone antagonist, PZS, may only be effective in controlling spawning populations and not for manipulating behavior during reproductive migration. Chapter 3 characterizes the functions of pheromones released via milt during spawning. Milt pheromones allowed females to discriminate among potential mates based on spawning status and milt pheromone concentration and attracted females to a nest while retaining them there for times consistent with the entire multicomponent bile acid pheromone. In Chapter 4, behavioral tests confirmed that a male's nesting location impacted access to mates to a greater degree than the signal attribute of pheromone concentration, which is known to influence female preferences. These results highlight the dynamic nature of animal communication and the importance of integrating aspects such as a signaler's location, signal attributes, and transmission through the environment to understand how the interactions or lack thereof between them influence receiver responses. The studies conducted here broaden our understanding of sea lamprey pheromone evolution, the function of sea lamprey pheromone components, and sea lamprey reproductive ecology. This knowledge may be used when designing and implementing management tools that utilize pheromones or other chemosensory cues as supplemental controls. The implementation of chemosensory cues into control efforts is aided by a holistic understanding of the multiple chemosensory communication networks sea lamprey utilize which provides information on what aspects of chemical communication networks to target for manipulation and in what contexts these efforts may be most effective.℗

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pheromones are chemical cues that pass between members of the same species that convey specific, adaptive information. These cues, and related chemicals whose function are less well defined, are especially important to fishes because of their aquatic environments and complex behaviors. Pheromones are also of increasing interest in both basic and applied aspects of fish biology because they can be used to manipulate fish behavior and may explain phenomena such as fishery collapse. Fish Pheromones and Related Cues provides a timely synthesis of this growing body of research in freshwater and marine species and explores everything from how these chemical signals evolved, are produced, released and then processed, and finally to potential applications in fish culture and conservation. Fish Pheromones and Related Cues opens with a useful overview on the theory of chemical communication and definitions. Chapters then progress by examining the biological importance of pheromones in inter- and intra-species communication, the role these chemical cues play in a variety biological functions from reproduction to predation, and then how they evolved and are detected and recognized by fish nervous systems. Final chapters provide valuable insight into how pheromones can be measured, how pheromonal disruption can explain effects of environmental pollution, and lastly how they pheromones are being applied in real-world efforts to culture fish species and to conserve our wild populations and control invasive species. With far-reaching economic, evolutionary and ecological implications, Fish Pheromones and Related Cues will be an essential volume for anyone working in the fields of chemical communication, fish biology, fisheries science, aquatic conservation, ecology, invasive species control, and aquaculture

This book was released on 2010-11-25 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crustaceans are ecologically and economically important organisms. They constitute one of the dominant invertebrate groups on earth, particularly within the aquatic realm. Crustaceans include some of the preferred scientific model organism, profitable aquaculture specimen, but also invasive nuisance species threatening native animal communities throughout the world. Chemoreception is the most important sensory modality of crustaceans, acquiring important information about their environment and picking up the chemical signals that mediate communication with conspecifics. Significant advances have been made in our understanding of crustacean chemical communication during the past decade. This includes knowledge about the identity, production, transfer, reception and behavioral function of chemical signals in selected crustacean groups. While it is well known that chemical communication is an integral part of the behavioral ecology of most living organisms, the intricate ways in which organisms allocate chemicals in communication remains enigmatic. How does the environment influence the evolution of chemical communication? What are the environmental cues that induce production or release of chemicals? How do individuals economize production and utilization of chemicals? What is the importance of molecule specificity or mix of a molecule cocktail in chemical communication? What is the role of chemical cues in multimodal communication? How does the ontogenetic stage, the sex or the physiological status of an individual affect its reaction to chemical cues? Many of these questions still represent important challenges to biologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stuff of nightmares in both their looks and the wounds inflicted on their victims, sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) are perhaps the deadliest invasive species to ever enter the Great Lakes. At the invasion’s apex in the mid-20th century, harvests of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), the lampreys’ preferred host fish in the Great Lakes, plummeted from peak annual catches of 15 million pounds to just a few hundred thousand pounds per year—a drop of 98% in only a few decades. Threatening the complete collapse of the fishery, the sea lamprey invasion triggered an environmental awakening in the region and prompted an international treaty that secured unprecedented cooperation across political boundaries to protect the Great Lakes. Fueled by a pioneering scientific spirit, the war on Great Lakes sea lampreys led to discoveries that are the backbone of the program that eventually brought the creature under control and still protects the largest freshwater ecosystem in the world to this day. Great Lakes Sea Lamprey draws on extensive interviews with individuals who experienced the invasion firsthand as well as a trove of unexplored archival materials to tell the incredible story of sea lamprey in the Great Lakes—what started the invasion, how it was halted, and what this history can teach us about the response to biological invaders in the present and future. Richly illustrated with color and black & white photographs, the book will interest readers concerned with the health of the Great Lakes, the history of the conservation movement, and the ongoing threat of invasive species.

This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last major synthesis of our knowledge of fish migration and the underlying transport and guidance phenomena, both physical and biological, was "Fish Migration" published 16 years ago by F.R. Harden Jones (1968). That synthesis was based largely upon what could be gleaned by classical fishery-biology techni.ques, such as tagging and recapture studies, commercial fishing statistics, and netting and trapping studies. Despite the fact that Harden Jones also provided, with a good deal of thought and speculation, a theoretical basis for studying the various aspects of fish migration and migratory orientation, progress in this field has been, with a few excepti.ons, piecemeal and more disjointed than might have been expected. Thus we welcomed the approach from the NATO Marine Sciences Programme Panel and the encouragement from F.R. Harden Jones to develop a proprosal for, and ultimately to organize, a NATO Advanced Research Institute (ARI) on mechanisms of fish migration. Substantial progress had been made with descriptive, analytical and predictive approaches to fish migration since the appearance of "Fish ~ligration." Both because of the progress and the often conflicting results of research, we felt that the time was again right and the effort justified to synthesize and to critically assess our knowledge. Our ultimate aim was to identify the gains and shortcomings and to develop testable hypotheses for the next decade or two.
