Is the Japanese skeleton shrimp Caprella mutica a filter feeder? I. Head morphology and kinematics
An active filter feeding organism strains suspended matter from the surrounding water using a sieving structure. Small marine filter feeders however, have to cope with the physical problems of the high viscosity as indicated by the low Reynolds number. In a highly viscous regime, organisms' appendages are surrounded by a thick boundary layer, which makes movement and filter feeding difficult. I...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA reveals multiple Northern Hemisphere introductions of Caprella mutica (Crustacea, Amphipoda).
Caprella mutica (Crustacea, Amphipoda) has been widely introduced to non-native regions in the last 40 years. Its native habitat is sub-boreal northeast Asia, but in the Northern Hemisphere, it is now found on both coasts of North America, and North Atlantic coastlines of Europe. Direct sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene) was used to compare genetic variation i...
متن کاملFluid Mechanics 101 A Skeleton Guide
Foreword This is guide is intended for students in Ae101 " Fluid Mechanics " , the class on the fundamentals of fluid mechanics that all first year graduate students take in Aeronautics and Mechanical Engineering at Caltech. It contains all the essential formulas grouped into sections roughly corresponding to the order in which the material is taught when I give the course (I have done this now...
متن کاملComparative spring mechanics in mantis shrimp.
Elastic mechanisms are fundamental to fast and efficient movements. Mantis shrimp power their fast raptorial appendages using a conserved network of exoskeletal springs, linkages and latches. Their appendages are fantastically diverse, ranging from spears to hammers. We measured the spring mechanics of 12 mantis shrimp species from five different families exhibiting hammer-shaped, spear-shaped ...
متن کاملDevelopmental growth patterns of the filter-feeder pterosaur, Pterodaustro guiñazui.
Life-history parameters of pterosaurs such as growth and ontogenetic development represent an enigma. This aspect of pterosaur biology has remained perplexing because few pterosaur taxa are represented by complete ontogenetic series. Of these, Pterodaustro is unique in that besides being represented by hundreds of individuals with wing spans ranging from 0.3 to 2.5m, it includes an embryo withi...
