Slow-moving predatory gastropods track prey odors in fast and turbulent flow.
Olfactory searching by aquatic predators is reliant upon the hydrodynamic processes that transport and modify chemical signals. Previous studies indicate that the search behavior of some benthic crustaceans is hindered by rapid water flow and turbulent mixing of prey chemicals, but different sensory strategies employed by other taxa might offset such detrimental effects. Using a laboratory flum...
متن کاملBehavioral observations and computer simulations of blue crab movement to a chemical source in a controlled turbulent flow.
The behavior of crabs tracking odor in turbulent chemical plumes was compared to the performance of computer simulations of search behavior operating in similar chemical signal environments. The movement of blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) towards a source of food odor was studied in controlled flow conditions in a flume. The evolving chemical stimulus field of a similar chemical source in an e...
متن کاملNeurally Encoding Time for Olfactory Navigation
Accurately encoding time is one of the fundamental challenges faced by the nervous system in mediating behavior. We recently reported that some animals have a specialized population of rhythmically active neurons in their olfactory organs with the potential to peripherally encode temporal information about odor encounters. If these neurons do indeed encode the timing of odor arrivals, it should...
متن کاملSharks need the lateral line to locate odor sources: rheotaxis and eddy chemotaxis.
Odor plumes are complex, dynamic, three-dimensional structures used by many animals to locate food, mates, home sites, etc. Yet odor itself has no directional properties. Animals use a variety of different senses to obtain directional information. Since most odor plumes are composed of dispersing odor patches and dissipating vorticity eddies, aquatic animals may localize odor sources by simulta...
متن کاملOdor localization requires visual feedback during free flight in Drosophila melanogaster.
Adult fruit flies follow attractive odors associated with food and oviposition sites through widely varied visual landscapes. To examine the interaction between olfactory and visual cues during search behavior, we recorded three-dimensional flight trajectories as individuals explored controlled sensory landscapes. When presented with the source of an attractive odor invisibly embedded in the fl...
