9317741 Madin Chemical signals play an important role in the lives of many animals for orientation to food, selection of habitats and mates, and avoidance of predators. It has been shown that benthic animals detect and respond to chemical signals produced by other animals or food sources at distances of centimeters to many meters. This study will test the hypothesize that the micro- scale pattern of concentration distribution of odors in a current provides information that is used by animals for opientation toward the odor source. Laboratory and in situ experimental work will be carried out to describe and quantify the distribution of chemical signals in aquatic odor plumes, and the behavioral responses of crustaceans to those plumes. ***

9317741马丁化学信号在许多动物的生活中扮演着重要的角色，包括对食物的定向、对栖息地和配偶的选择以及对捕食者的回避。已有研究表明，底栖动物在几厘米到许多米的距离内可以探测到其他动物或食物来源产生的化学信号，并对其做出反应。这项研究将检验这样一种假设，即气味在电流中浓度分布的微观模式提供了动物用来对气味来源进行鸦片治疗的信息。将开展实验室和现场实验工作，以描述和量化水中气味羽流中化学信号的分布，以及甲壳类动物对这些羽流的行为反应。***
