The book "Chemical Communication in Crustaceans" discusses the important role of chemical communication in the life of crustaceans. The first edition of the book is edited by Thomas Breithaupt and Martin Thiel and was published in 2010.
The book covers the chemical communication mechanisms used by different crustacean species in various contexts such as reproduction, aggression, social behavior, and foraging. It also covers the chemical ecology of crustaceans and their interactions with other organisms in the environment.
The book is divided into four sections that cover topics such as the chemical signals used by crustaceans, the mechanisms by which they detect and use these signals, the effects of these signals on behavior and physiology, and the ecological implications of chemical communication.
Overall, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the topic and is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the chemical communication and ecology of crustaceans. Description by ChatGPT.
