For lysianassid amphipods Kaufmann (1994) suggested that the aesthetascs are involved in perception of waterborne food stimuli. Apparently, the same basic chemoreceptor design employed in food location (aesthetascs) is also used in mate location. While the role of aesthetascs in chemoreception is unquestioned, there are a number of other structures whose chemosensory role remains speculative or controversial (e.g., Kai m-Malka et al. 1999). At the base of the antennae a few amphipod species have cup-shaped structures termed calceoli, which are most common in males. One of the first studies on chemical communication in peracarids suggested that the calceoli on the 2nd antennae of male Gammarus duebeni are the...
