...Alexander J. Werth SUMMARY Anatomical and behavioral analyses suggest that the filtration mechanism of bowhead and right whales (Balaenidae) is driven by hydrodynamic as well as ram hydraulic pressures. Complementary models were devised to investigate biomechanical aspects of water flow...

... to vibrating sources, their response to water flow has not been reported. In this study, we recorded extracellularly from anterior lateral line afferents in the New Zealand long-fin eel Anguilla dieffenbachii while stimulating the eel with unidirectional water flows at 0.5–4 cm s −1 . Of the afferents, 80...

...George V. Lauder; Brian D. Clark Water flow into the mouth cavity during suction feeding in centrarchid sunfishes was studied by mapping the trajectories of small particles in the water during prey capture. In Lepomis , a circulation develops as the mouth opens, and water is drawn into the mouth...
