Despite major progress in our understanding of animal signaling systems, the identification of chemical signals in aquatic organisms is still in its infancy. Exemplary for this is the lack of structural knowledge of crustacean sex pheromones despite... Read More about Identification of a female sex pheromone in Carcinus maenas.

Evidence that 1-methyl-L-tryptophan is a food-related odorant for the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) (2011)
Journal Article
Velez, Z., Hubbard, P. C., Hardege, J. D., Welham, K. J., Barata, E. N., & Canário, A. V. M. (2011). Evidence that 1-methyl-L-tryptophan is a food-related odorant for the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis). Aquaculture, 314(1-4), 153-158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2011.01.025

Nocturnal animals often rely heavily on olfactory cues to locate their food. This is especially true for fish whose prey live buried in the substrate. The aim of the current study was to identify non-polar odorants released by the ragworm (Hediste di...
