@article { , title = {Becoming nose-blind—Climate change impacts on chemical communication}, abstract = {Chemical communication via infochemicals plays a pivotal role in ecological interactions, allowing organisms to sense their environment, locate predators, food, habitats, or mates. A growing number of studies suggest that climate change-associated stressors can modify these chemically mediated interactions, causing info-disruption that scales up to the ecosystem level. However, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms is scarce. Evidenced by a range of examples, we illustrate in this opinion piece that climate change affects different realms in similar patterns, from molecular to ecosystem-wide levels. We assess the importance of different stressors for terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems and propose a systematic approach to address highlighted knowledge gaps and cross-disciplinary research avenues.}, doi = {10.1111/gcb.16209}, eissn = {1365-2486}, issn = {1354-1013}, journal = {Global Change Biology}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Wiley}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/3998628}, keyword = {Behavior, Chemoreception, Climate change stressor, Ecological interactions, Infochemicals, Ocean acidification, Semiochemicals, Sensory ecology}, year = {2024}, author = {Roggatz, Christina C. and Saha, Mahasweta and Blanchard, Solène and Schirrmacher, Paula and Fink, Patrick and Verheggen, François and Hardege, Jörg D.} }
