Wind-dispersed plants have evolved ingenious ways to lift their seeds,. The common
dandelion uses a bundle of drag-enhancing bristles (the pappus) that helps to keep their …

Habitat and life history are critical elements in assessing the production dynamics of
invertebrates and their role in aquatic ecosystems. We studied invertebrate productivity at …

The apparent diversity of suspension feeding animals is, in one sense, more apparent than
real. Virtually all suspension feeders capture particles from the water at low Reynolds …

Models of particle encounter efficiency borrowed from aerosol filtration theory have
revolutionised ideas about mechanisms of suspension-feeding (a form of hydrosol filtration) …

Many small organisms capture food particles, locomote through water or air, or create
currents using appendages bearing arrays of long bristles. The performance of these arrays …

Rangeomorphs are among the oldest putative eumetazoans known from the fossil record.
Establishing how they fed is thus key to understanding the structure and function of the …

A completely updated and translated edition of the author's famous book Atlas zur Biologie
der Wasserinsekten. br/> This comprehensive work gives a vivid overview of the numerous …

Many organisms use structures composed of arrays of cylinders to capture particulate food
or molecules form the water or air around them. The performance of such filters depends on …

Insects utilize a diverse array of feeding strategies and hosts, and thus they encounter
problems associated with the mechanical or biochemical properties of their food. Part of the …

Black fly larvae occur in many lotic habitats but often dominate the benthos of lake-outlet and
brownwater (humic) stream communities. Water in these habitats contains abundant …
