Description
The aggregating anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima) emits the alarm signal anthopleurine that triggers a predator avoidance behavior in neighboring clone anemones. Our previous experiments demonstrated that changes in salinity can affect the response to anthopleurine. Here we examine the effect of salinity on the production of anthopleurine. Our findings could provide insights on how chemical signaling could be impacted by shifting environmental conditions associated with climate change.
