Still, it would be a generally good strategy to feed on finer particles than coarser particles. Selectivity is also an efficient strategy within the gut of a deposit feeder. Both deposit-feeding (e.g., Macoma (Hylleberg and Gallucci, 1975)) and suspension-feeding bivalves commonly have a ...
A deflecting device deflects the fresh feed from the container, so that tuberous components present therein, such as potatoes and/or beets, are situated substantially in or on the swath-shaped heap of feed after the latter has been formed.VAN DEN ENGEL, ALFONSUS JACOBUS...
Moving water may also force sand-dwelling intertidal tellinids to withdraw a deposit-feeding siphon within the incurrent siphon burrow to feed on the burrow walls (Levinton, 1991). The amphipod Corophium volutator actively resuspends organic particles within its burrow and filters them (Meadows and...
What is Fluid Feeding? What is a Filter Feeder? What are Some Features of the Ocean Floor? Discussion Comments ByTelsyst— On Mar 06, 2014 Earthworms can move in almost any twisty position because of the lack of a skeleton so they are called invertebrates. The worm has a series of fluid...
In addition, an energy budget is also derived for inferring the poten- tial impact of feeding strategy and variation of food supply on the feeding activity, energy gain and expen- diture of Yoldia hyperborea. MATERIALS AND METHODS Collection and handling of animals. Yoldia hyper- borea were ...
The samples were examined using stable isotope analysis to assess the site specific feeding mode of the animals and their trophic status. N. japonica is a surface deposit-feeder and Notomastus sp. is a subsurface deposit-feeder. In the estuary, the sedimentary δ 5N tended to become ...
They have been feeding Ethiopians for 50 years? Did we feed any European? Why we blame whites for our laziness? Why Africans do not have any Technology? Why? Why African flock to Europe and North America if the whites are bad ? I love the whites. Trust me, I met bad whites, but ...
A method and apparatus for feeding animals, particularly for feeding livestock, includes a plurality of individual feeding stalls (2) each having a feeding trough (24), a feed container (25), and a door (21) with a locking device (23). F... JH Harmsen,A Kuip - US 被引量: 63发表...

The coexistence of deposit-feeding animals is discussed. It is concluded that the number of coexisting, closely related species is usually small, and that their resource partitioning is probably mainly based on particle-size selectivity. In the case of unrelated forms (e.g. H. ulvae and C. ...
