A deathly odor suggests a new sustainable tool for controlling a costly invasive species
- C. M. Wagner, Eric M. Stroud, Trevor D. Meckley
- Biology
- 8 July 2011
Here we confirm a long-standing anecdotal observation; the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) actively avoids the odor emitted by decaying conspecifics. We extracted the semiochemical mixture produced… Expand
Behavioral responses of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) to a putative alarm cue derived from conspecific and heterospecific sources
- Jason D. Bals, C. M. Wagner
- Biology
- 2012
The sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus , exhibits a spectacular alarm response to the odor emitted from decayed conspecifics that may differ substantially in function from the well-characterized system… Expand
Expression of the estuarine species minimum in littoral fish assemblages of the lower Chesapeake Bay tributaries
- C. M. Wagner
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 1999
Species richness declines to a minimum (artenminimum) in the oligohaline reach of estuaries and other large bodies of brackish water. To date, observations of this feature in temperate estuaries have… Expand
A field test verifies that pheromones can be useful for sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control in the Great Lakes
- C. M. Wagner, M. Jones, Michael B. Twohey, P. Sorensen
- Biology
- 1 March 2006
Pheromone-baited traps have proven highly effective for managing insect pests by selectively removing reproductively active adults prior to mating. Here, we report a field test of two pheromones… Expand
Conspecific cueing in the sea lamprey: do reproductive migrations consistently follow the most intense larval odour?
- C. M. Wagner, Michael B. Twohey, J. Fine
- Biology
- Animal Behaviour
- 1 September 2009
Conspecific cueing occurs when an organism receives information about habitat quality from the distribution of conspecifics. Consequently, animals should prefer to settle in habitats with high… Expand
Dynamics and regulation of the southern brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) population in an Appalachian stream.
- G. Grossman, R. E. Ratajczak, C. M. Wagner, J. Petty
- Biology
- 1 July 2010
SUMMARY 1. We used information theoretic statistics [Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC)] and regression analysis in a multiple hypothesis testing approach to assess the processes capable of… Expand
An experimental study of foraging aggression in two southeastern minnows
- C. M. Wagner
- Biology
- 1 May 2004
Competitive aggression is a trait often assumed important in the establishment of invasive species. I examined the effects of competitive aggression on the group foraging dynamics of two southeastern… Expand

Factors Influencing Capture of Invasive Sea Lamprey in Traps Baited With a Synthesized Sex Pheromone Component
- N. Johnson, M. Siefkes, +4 authors W. Li
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Chemical Ecology
- 23 September 2015
The sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, is emerging as a model organism for understanding how pheromones can be used for manipulating vertebrate behavior in an integrated pest management program. In a… Expand
A synthesized mating pheromone component increases adult sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) trap capture in management scenarios
- N. Johnson, M. Siefkes, +5 authors Weiming Li
- Biology
- 22 May 2013
Application of chemical cues to manipulate adult sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) behavior is among the options considered for new sea lamprey control techniques in the Laurentian Great Lakes. A male… Expand
Coastal movements of migrating sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in response to a partial pheromone added to river water: implications for management of invasive populations
- Trevor D. Meckley, C. M. Wagner, E. Gurarie
- Geography
- 20 January 2014
How sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) search for and select reproductive habitat is poorly understood. Manual tracking of acoustically tagged migrants confirms the hypothesis that sea lampreys… Expand
