Marine biofilms are composed of many species of bacteria, unicellular algae, and protozoa.
Biofilms can induce, inhibit, or have no effect on settlement of larvae and spores of algae. In …

Chemical signals are omnipresent in sexual communication in the vast majority of living
organisms. The traditional paradigm was that their main purpose in sexual behaviour was to …

Chemical cues constitute much of the language of life in the sea. Our understanding of biotic
interactions and their effects on marine ecosystems will advance more rapidly if this …

Biofouling is the undesirable accumulation of living organisms and their metabolites on
submerged surfaces. Biofouling begins with adhesion of biomacromolecules and/or …

Diel vertical migration (DVM) is a characteristic behavioural pattern performed by
zooplankton in which their vertical distribution changes over the 24-h day. Here the …

Several observations and model calculations suggest that chemically mediated interactions
can structure planktonic food webs. However, only recently have improvements in chemical …

In the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, a family of endogenous small molecules,
the ascarosides function as key regulators of developmental timing and behavior that act …

Barnacles are notorious marine fouling organisms, whose life cycle initiates with the
planktonic larva, followed by the free-swimming cyprid that voluntarily explores, and …

Tissue remodeling follows the initial phase of wound healing and stops inflammatory and
scar-forming processes, then restores the normal tissue morphology. The human peptide …
