Summary: | [...]studying how organisms respond to environmental change is arguably the most pressing issue of applied ecology. Movement is centrally important to how organisms will respond to environmental change, such as climate warming or habitat fragmentation, and understanding how mutualism and other facilitative interactions will affect movement is thus critical. Eleanor Caves' presentation, Communication with mutualistic partners: sensory systems and signal active space in cleaner shrimp-client fish interactions, explained the role species' visual systems play in mutualistic cleaner shrimp-client fish interactions and its impacts on the movement of both participants. Plant secondary metabolites are widespread, with diverse impacts on both individual plants as well as on interspecific interactions (Nelson and Whitehead 2021). [...]the presence of chemicals not directly related to a dispersal mutualism that can nonetheless mediate the outcome of that mutualism is an interesting avenue for future research, especially regarding movement and mutualisms. |
