title: Selective improvement in responses to prey odors by the lobster,Homarus americanus, following feeding experience.
abstract: Lobsters can detect odors from two natural prey species, the horse musselModiolus modiolus and the blue musselMytilusedulis. When lobsters fed exclusively on one of these two prey species for one month, their behavioral response threshold for the prey odor from this species was lowered relative to the threshold for odor from the nonexperienced prey.
