Successful feeding and escape behaviors in fishes emerge from precise integration of
locomotion and feeding movements. Fishes inhabit a wide range of habitats, including still …

Suction feeding is pervasive among aquatic vertebrates, and our understanding of the
functional morphology and biomechanics of suction feeding has recently been advanced by …

Movement in animal groups is highly varied and ranges from seemingly disordered motion
in swarms to coordinated aligned motion in flocks and schools. These social interactions are …

Diversity of feeding mechanisms is a hallmark of reef fishes, but the history of this variation is
not fully understood. Here, we explore the emergence and proliferation of a biting mode of …

Larval fishes have a remarkable ability to sense and evade the feeding strike of a predator
fish with a rapid escape manoeuvre. Although the neuromuscular control of this behaviour is …

The Siluro-Devonian adaptive radiation of jawed vertebrates, which underpins almost all
living vertebrate biodiversity, is characterized by the evolutionary innovation of the lower …

Suction feeding fish draw prey into the mouth using a flow field that they generate external to
the head. In this paper we present a multidimensional perspective on suction feeding …

Organisms are comprised of many interacting parts, and an increased number or
specialization of those parts leads to greater complexity and the necessity for increased …

Research on suction-feeding performance has mostly focused on measuring individual
underlying components such as suction pressure, flow velocity, ram or the effects of suction …

The ability to protrude the jaws during prey capture is a hallmark of teleost fishes, widely
recognized as one of the most significant innovations in their diverse and mechanically …
