Mathematical studies for ecosystems involving 2 predators competing for a growing prey population have shown that the 2 competitors can coexist in a state of sustained oscillations for a range of ...

Feeding rate in the octocoral, Alcyonium siderium, was investigated as a function of colony size, flow speed, and prey concentration. The feeding rate decreases with time in high prey concentrations.

Suspension-feeding fishes such as goldfish and whale sharks retain prey without clogging their oral filters, whereas clogging is a major expense in industrial crossflow filtration of beer, dairy foods ...

A bizarre creature that looks like nothing alive on Earth today probably used its unique shape to collect drifting particles from the ocean to feed on, new research finds. "Because we have no obvious ...

A feeding method of the extinct jawless heterostracans, among the oldest of vertebrates, has been examined and dismissed by scientists, using fresh techniques. A feeding method of the extinct jawless ...

Most barnacles sit on hard surfaces, and filter small particles of food from the surrounding water. But Anelasma squalicola is an exception. It’s a parasitic barnacle that eats sharks, by fastening ...

A feeding method of the extinct jawless heterostracans, among the oldest of vertebrates, has been examined and dismissed by scientists at the University of Bristol, using fresh techniques. The ...
