Abstract:Crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters and crayfish use chemical sensing to determine the location of predators, prey, potential mates and habitat. Chemical signals are primarily distributed throughout terrestrial and aquatic environments by convective and diffusive transport processes that are affected by turbulence. Many animals actively sample odorbearing fluid using appendages bearing arrays of hair-like chemosensory and mechanosensory sensilla. These animals sample their surrounding odor and fluid environmen… Show more
