Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how adult Zenopontonia soror shrimps and their larvae recognize and recruit to seastar hosts through olfactory cues.
- It highlights that asterosaponins, initially thought to be chemical defenses of seastars, specifically attract adult shrimps to their original host species while larvae are drawn to various seastar species.
- This research is pioneering in identifying chemical cues that larvae use for host recruitment, emphasizing the critical role of chemical communication in maintaining symbiotic relationships within marine ecosystems.
