Behavioral Response of Sternotherus Odoratus to Conspecific and Predatory Chemosensory Cues
All marine and most freshwater turtle species possess Rathke's glands. These glands exhibit similar morphological and histochemical properties across many species and release small amounts of odorous secretion. The function of this secretion is unknown, however several hypotheses exist. This study …

Recovery status and chemosensory cues affecting reproduction of freshwater mussels in the North Fork Holston River downstream of Saltville, Virginia
The freshwater mussel fauna of the North Fork Holston River (NFHR) downstream of Saltville, VA declined from at least 24 species, as observed in 1918, to one species in 1974 due to mercury pollution. To determine the degree of recovery of mussels in the NFHR downstream of Saltville, and to provide …

Neuroanatomical plasticity and division of labor in the honey bee (Apis mellifera)
… the dark hive, tasks are regulated primarily by chemosensory cues. A forager integrates both visual and chemosensory information, to successfully navigate through a dynamic environment. The onset of foraging is a natural, substantial behavioral experience, making the honey bee ideal for studying …

Non-Canonical Odor Coding Ensures Robust Mosquito Attraction to Humans
… disease vector. Mosquitoes rely heavily on chemosensory cues, including carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from breath and human body odor, which is a mixture of more than 200 different individual odorants. Although the exact odor profile of people varies considerably, Aedes aegypti are incredibly …

Learning of Dietary Cues By Embryos and Larvae of Ringed Salamanders (Ambystoma Annulatum)
… In addition to being exposed to environmental cues directly, neonates also have the opportunity to gain information from conspecifics, potentially saving them time and exposure to predators. I tested the hypothesis that if an observer larva is paired with a demonstrator larva that exhibits an …
