Chemoreception and the role of proteins: A comparative study

Fish blood as a chemical signal for Antarctic marine invertebrates

“…may be biologically active in attracting predators and scavengers. Proteins have also been previously shown to attract crustaceans, molluscs and echinoderms (Carr et al 1974;Rittschof et al 1984;Carr 1988). Glucose was also established to be an important attractant to such diverse species as Antarctic sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri (Janecki 1999), gastropod Lymnea acuminata (Tiwari and Singh 2004) or crabs Petrolisthes cinctipes (Hartman and Hartmann 1977) and Uca longisignalis (Weissburg and Zimmer-Faust 1991).…”

Chemical Mediation of Larval Release Behaviors in the Crab Neopanope sayi

“…1982;Rittschof el al.. 1983Rittschof el al.. , 1984. In particular, proteins and peptides elicit behaviors in various taxa, including feeding behavior in the snail Ilyanassa (=Nassarius) obsoleta (Carr et al, 1974), creeping in predatory snails (Rittschof et a/., 1984), and metamorphosis in the sand dollar Dendrastcr excentricus (Burke, 1984) and the abalone Haliotis (Morse, 1988). Among crustaceans, serine protease generated peptides are implicated in hermit crab shell acquisition behavior (Rittschof, 1980;Lepore and Gilchrist, 1988;Rittschof et al.…”

RHEOTAXIS AND CHEMORECEPTION IN THE FRESHWATER SNAILBIOMPHALARIA GLABRATA(SAY): ESTIMATION OF THE MOLECULAR WEIGHTS OF ACTIVE FACTORS

“…Before proceeding with a discussion of the results, it is important to view critically the methods used in this study. Ultrafiltration has been used extensively in studies of chemoreception as a means of removing or selectively attenuating specific molecular weight fractions from solutions containing stimulants (Carr, Hall and Gurin, 1974;Carr and Gurin, 1975;Carr, 1976;Carr and Chancy, 1976). However, the "cut-off points" for each ultrafiltration membrane, in fact, span a considerable range of molecular weights (Fig.…”
