Model of optimal current feeding in zooplankton
Zooplankton feeding formulations in plankton models have exclusively focused on the relation between food concentration and ingestion, with respiration and excretion being treated separately, despite experimental evidence for strong links among these processes. We present an optimal current-feeding model linking ingestion, respiration, and assimilation efficiency to foraging activity. The Ivlev...
متن کاملCalculation and Use of Selectivity Coefficients of Feeding : Zooplankton Grazing
Vanderploeg, H.A. and Scavia, D., 1979. Calculation and use of selectivity coefficients of feeding: zooplankton grazing. Ecol. Modelling, 7: 135--149. A straightforward method of calculating selectivity coefficients (Wii) of predation from raw data, mortality rates of prey, filtering rates, feeding rates and electivity indices is derived. Results from a comparison of selectivity coefficients fo...
متن کاملMechanisms and feasibility of prey capture in ambush-feeding zooplankton.
Many marine zooplankters, particularly among copepods, are "ambush feeders" that passively wait for their prey and capture them by fast surprise attacks. This strategy must be very demanding in terms of muscle power and sensing capabilities, but the detailed mechanisms of the attacks are unknown. Using high-speed video we describe how copepods perform spectacular attacks by precision maneuverin...

swimming velocity. Different means of increasing the steepness of the velocity gradient can be expected to have different costs. Negative buoyancy requires that an animal swim to keep from sinking and more drag requires more energy to move a given distance. For many small zooplankters there may be a trade between effective feeding and effective locomotion. R. B. EMLET R. R. STRATHMAN Friday Har...

Strategy and Limitations increased catecholamine metabolism) in the central nervous system (10), the hippocampus could be one of the sites of this restoration process. The electrical activity of the hippocampus is unusual. While the rest of the brain shows a desynchronized EEG pattern during attention, learning, and paradoxical sleep, the hippocampus displays a syrichronized electrical activity...
