but instead of hunting smaller prey such as crustaceans, it's going after the literal big fish. Cookiecutter sharks use their bioluminescent bellies to attract larger fish, sharks, and whales

crustaceans, fish, plants, and insects. Most channel catfish will reach sexual maturity in three to six years or when they reach about twelve inches in length.
To date the relation between the thermal sensitivity of mitochondrial function and cardiac performance has been poorly assessed in crustaceans. So far it has only been tested by comparison of two species of portunid crab, but not for other crustaceans of diverse climatic origins49. It is also unc...
3b, the fracture surface consists of terrace ⊥ x and step // x in the exocuticle. The height in the step is about 2.3 μm, which corresponds to the lamella thickness observed in Fig. 2i,j. Such a fracture surface is effective in improving the fracture characteristics [11], [12], ...
Results were reported as percent frequency of occurrence and percent of total number. The results showed a variation in predation by fishes, according to species and reservoir environmental characteristics. In some cases there was no relation between the zooplankton abundance in the fish diet and the...
studies, each of which included tree counts that had been verified at the ground level. Usingsatellite imagery, they were then able to assess how the number of trees in each of those plots is related to local characteristics such as climate, topography, vegetation, soil condition, and human ...
General characteristics and similarities among their diets were evaluated by considering high taxonomic ranks of all prey groups, and also the lower taxonomic ranks of the main prey groups. Dietary similarity was relatively high among species and low between seasons, and both evaluation criteria gave ...
HFRs are commonly used due to their low impact on the polymer's characteristics, thus they are used in many products such as electronics, clothes, toys, plastics, etc. However, in most cases they are not fixed in the polymer by chemical binding, and can therefore freely leak to the surrou...
a method called crossing theory to these probabilities, the scientists have provided information on the changing relationship between frequency, duration and intensity of heatwaves. This allows for more robust statements about howclimate changehas affected the characteristics of the heatwaves we experience...
