... either chemotaxis or odour-gated rheotaxis (or both) during olfactory-based navigation. Finally, I collate the patchwork of research conducted on relevant proximate mechanisms that could produce navigation behaviours. Although the tractability of several gastropod species for neurophysiological...

... a multisensory system that controls the motor function of unicellular fungal zoospores. We found that zoospores of Allomyces arbusculus exhibit both phototaxis and chemotaxis. Furthermore, we report that closely related Allomyces species respond to either the chemical or the light stimuli presented in this study...

... allelochemical chemotaxis kairomone necromeny phoresy Phoresy, in which nematodes use larger invertebrates such as insects as vectors to transfer themselves to different sites for reproduction, is a common phenomenon among many nematodes. It is a form of commensalism in which the growth, fecundity...

... chemotaxis diffusion microbial uptake plumes Planktonic organisms are particles. They are discrete objects, suspended in water; they fall or rise; they collide. They concentrate material from a dilute solution and they discharge concentrated material back to the solution. A solitary cell...

... odor plumes are composed of dispersing odor patches and dissipating vorticity eddies, aquatic animals may localize odor sources by simultaneous analysis of chemical and hydrodynamic dispersal fields, a process referred to as eddy chemotaxis. This study examines the contributions of olfaction...

... to be species specificity of initiation/chemotaxis of sperm among the three species. It is reported that the chemoattractants of Montipora digitata are diverse and the ratio of substances are important for chemotaxis of sperm ( Coll et al., 1994 ). Acropora species may have species-specific substance(s...

... for chemotaxis. Previous observations of the unusual,spiral-shaped chemotaxis tracks made by the bent-head mutant unc-23 point to a different strategy in which the animal continuously makes more subtle course corrections. In the present study we have combined automated tracking of individual animals...

... Electronics, Inc.,Damascus, MD, USA). For chemotaxis assays, we used custom-built chambers( Fig. 1A ) to observe and quantify sporozoite movement. Two 9 mm×18 mm No. 1 coverglasses were adhered to a 70 mm×25 mm glass slide with a thin layer of silicon oil,leaving an approximately 5 mm wide gap between them...

...-tryptophan was the natural sperm attractant in H. rufescens . Eggs released L-tryptophan at concentrations that triggered both activation and chemotaxis in sperm, exhibiting significant activity at levels as low as 10 -8 mol l -1 . The D-isomer of tryptophan was inactive,showing that the sperm response...
