Identification of a female sex pheromone in Carcinus maenas (2011)
Journal Article
Hardege, J. D., Bartels-Hardege, H. D., Fletcher, N., Terschak, J. A., Harley, M., Smith, M. A., Davidson, L., Hayden, D., Müller, C. T., Lorch, M., Welham, K., Walther, T., & Bublitz, R. (2011). Identification of a female sex pheromone in Carcinus maenas. Marine ecology progress series, 436, 177-189. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps09226

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...

Identification, release and olfactory detection of bile salts in the intestinal fluid of the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) (2009)
Journal Article
Velez, Z., Hubbard, P. C., Welham, K., Hardege, J., Barata, E. N., & Canário, A. V. M. (2009). Identification, release and olfactory detection of bile salts in the intestinal fluid of the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis). Journal of comparative physiology. A, Sensory, neural, and behavioral physiology, 195(7), 691-698. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00359-009-0444-5

Olfactory sensitivity to bile salts is wide-spread in teleosts; however, which bile salts are released in sufficient quantities to be detected is unclear. The current study identified bile salts in the intestinal and bile fluids of Solea senegalensis...
