چکیده
We focus here on the potential of the lateral flagellum as a able advice and discussions. Special thanks to T. B. for loan of “passive” detector of water flow. The well-known flicking of the shaker apparatus. Supported by NSF grant IBN# 9723542 the antennule, with maximum rates of 5 Hz, is thought to suband an REU supplement. serve chemosensory sampling. Moreover, the flow velocity of 10 cm/s during flicking far exceeds the maximum velocities Literature Cited used in this study. Flicking is rare during odor plume tracking. 1. Atema, J. 1995. Proc.

The olfactory pathway for individual recognition in the American lobster Homarus americanus.
Individual recognition in the lobster Homarus americanus (Milne-Edwards), is based on detection of urine pheromones via chemoreceptors of the lateral antennular flagellum. The specific sensory pathway mediating this recognition is not known. Most of the chemoreceptor cells of this flagellum are found in the unimodal aesthetasc sensilla and project specifically to the glomeruli of the olfactory ...
متن کاملThe peripheral and central antennular pathway of the Caribbean stomatopod crustacean Neogonodactylus oerstedii.
Although stomatopod crustaceans use their chemical senses in many facets of behavior, little is known about their chemosensory neural pathways, especially in comparison to the better-studied decapod crustaceans. We examined the stomatopod Neogonodactylus oerstedii to determine organizational aspects of peripheral and central neural pathway of antennules, which is a major chemosensory organ. We ...
متن کاملResponse properties of crayfish antennules to hydrodynamic stimuli: functional differences in the lateral and medial flagella.
Antennules have been reported to influence localization of distant food odors, sex discrimination, and agonistic and social behaviors of decapod crustaceans. Although olfaction by the antennules is largely recognized, information on the sensitivity of antennules to hydrodynamic stimuli has been scant. In red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii antennules, mechanosensory setae outnumber the chemo...
متن کاملNon-olfactory chemoreceptors in asymmetric setae activate antennular grooming behavior in the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus.
In the spiny lobster Panulirus argus the antennules carrying olfactory sensilla called aesthetascs and several types of other non-olfactory sensilla accompanying them are frequently groomed by the third maxillipeds in a stereotyped behavioral pattern. This behavior can be elicited by chemical stimulation with l-glutamate. Using selective sensillar ablations, we tested whether this behavior is d...
متن کاملSmelling, feeling, tasting and touching: behavioral and neural integration of antennular chemosensory and mechanosensory inputs in the crayfish.
Crustaceans possess two pairs of prominent, movable sense organs on the rostral aspect of their bodies termed antennae: (1) a relatively short, usually bifurcate pair, the 1st antennae, also referred to as antennules, and (2) a much longer, uniramous pair, the 2nd antennae, or just 'antennae'. The antennules are equipped with diverse arrays of six or more types of cuticular setae, most of which...
