Morphology, kinematics, and dynamics: the mechanics of suction feeding in fishes
Suction feeding is pervasive among aquatic vertebrates, and our understanding of the
functional morphology and biomechanics of suction feeding has recently been advanced by …

Complex systems are more than the sum of their parts: using integration to understand performance, biomechanics, and diversity
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 …

Hydrodynamic starvation in first-feeding larval fishes
Larval fishes suffer prodigious mortality rates, eliminating 99% of the brood within a few days
after first feeding. Hjort (1914) famously attributed this “critical period” of low survival to the …

Functional complexity can mitigate performance trade-offs
Trade-offs are believed to impose major constraints on adaptive evolution, and they arise
when modification of a trait improves one aspect of performance but incurs a cost in another …

How to surprise a copepod: Strike kinematics reduce hydrodynamic disturbance and increase stealth of suction‐feeding fish
To capture prey with suction, fish must get sufficiently close to their prey to allow the suction
flow to overwhelm the prey and draw it into the mouth. Both swimming towards the prey and …

Comparative feeding kinematics and performance of odontocetes: belugas, Pacific white-sided dolphins and long-finned pilot whales
Cetaceans are thought to display a diversity of feeding modes that are often described as
convergent with other more basal aquatic vertebrates (ie actinopterygians). However, the …
