Waves of communication: Metabolomics describe the nature and role of waterborne cues in the marine environment
Waterborne cues are important tools for signaling in the marine environment. Despite decades of dedicated research, we know little about the chemical nature of these cues and of the physiological response by individuals that detect the cues. Using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy- and mass …

The maintenance, evolution, and impacts of inducible morphological defenses in Mytilus edulis: Responses to multiple and invasive predators
… induced shell thickening when exposed to waterborne cues from the crab Hemigrapsus , but "naive" northern mussel populations do not respond. Yet, both populations thicken their shells in response to a long-established crab, Carcinus. These results are consistent with the rapid evolution of …

Recruitment of Blue Crab, <i>Callinectes sapidus,</i> Postlarvae to the Back-Barrier Lagoons of Virginia's Eastern Shore
… settled megalopae. Megalopae appear to recognize waterborne cues in the lagoon that enhance recruitment by initiating premolt and reducing the time spent in the megalopal stage within the lagoons. Intermolt megalopae exposed to lagoon water quickly advance to premolt and molt to the juvenile stage …
