Behavior and Specificity in Marine Symbioses

Abstract

Over a series of years, the communication machinery was analyzed which serves to bring together intimately associated species in the sea (symbioses). The machinery may involve many types of stimuli, with visual and chemical perhaps the most important. The function of these signals has, to as great an extent as possible, been considered against the background of the ecology of the specific organisms themselves and the physical nature of the environment in which they may be found. During the most recent years, emphasis has been placed on the function and efficacy of chemical signals in the marine environment.
