Beschreibung:
“Infochemicals” (information-conveying
chemicals) dominate much of the underwater communication in biological systems.
They influence the movement and behavior of organisms, the ecological interactions between and across populations, and the
trophic structure of marine food webs. However, relative to their terrestrial equivalents, the wider ecological and economic importance
of marine infochemicals remains understudied and a concerted, cross-disciplinary
effort is needed to reveal the full potential
of marine chemical ecology. We highlight current challenges with specific examples and suggest how research on the chemical
ecology of marine organisms could provide opportunities for implementing new management solutions for future “blue growth”
(the sustainable use of ocean resources) and maintaining healthy marine ecosystems.
