INTRODUCTION The most drastic influences of human modifications result from urbanisation, a progression characterised by human disturbance, buildings and other artificial infrastructure (Hahs and McDonnell 2006). Such modifications have significant effects on biodiversity, often with little thought being given to the long term effects and ways of mitigating them. In most cases, human alteration of the environment has reduced biological diversity by replacing the native flora with new ecological
Chemical communication is the detection and recognition of chemical signals released by other organisms. The chemicals that are released are known as info-chemicals and can be directed towards organisms of the same or different species. Info-chemicals can be detected by more than one species and the detection of info-chemicals is through olfactory and gustatory organs. The utilization of chemical communication is vital to the survival of aquatic organisms due to the nature of the medium which they
