Determinants of feeding performance in marine-fish larvae
Meeting Abstract 81.1 Friday, Jan. 6 Determinants of feeding performance in marine-fish larvae TURINGAN, R.G.*; WITTENRICH, M.L.; BECK, J.B.; SAMARCO, T.J.; Florida Institute of Technology; University of Florida; NOAA, St. Petersburg, Florida; Florida Institute of Technology turingan@fit.edu Over five decades of research on post-metamorphic (i.e., juvenile- and adult-life history stages) fishes have resulted in our current, substantial […]
Anatomy of a shrike bite force, speed, and pressure in relation to bill shape in loggerhead shrikes (Passeriformes Laniidae Lanius ludovicianus)
Meeting Abstract 81.4 Friday, Jan. 6 Anatomy of a shrike bite: force, speed, and pressure in relation to bill shape in loggerhead shrikes (Passeriformes: Laniidae: Lanius ludovicianus) SUSTAITA, Diego*; RUBEGA, Margaret; University of Connecticut; University of Connecticut diego.sustaita@uconn.edu Shrikes are small predatory passerines that feed on arthropods and vertebrates, and rely heavily on their beaks for catching, […]
A Device for Dampening Drag A Novel Hypothesis for the Function of Enormous Fangs in Deep-sea Fishes
Meeting Abstract 81.2 Friday, Jan. 6 A Device for Dampening Drag: A Novel Hypothesis for the Function of Enormous Fangs in Deep-sea Fishes KENALEY, Christopher/P; Harvard University cpkenaley@gmail.com Many deep-sea fishes possess spectacular morphologies that enable the capture of large prey in a seascape devoid of biomass. Perhaps the most distinctive feeding morphologies of deep-sea teleosts are […]

Simultaneous sampling of flow and odorants in a turbulent plume can aid tracking behavior by aquatic organisms
Meeting Abstract 81.2 Sunday, Jan. 6 Simultaneous sampling of flow and odorants in a turbulent plume can aid tracking behavior by aquatic organisms PRAVIN, S*; KOEHL, MAR; REIDENBACH, MA; University of Virginia, Charlottesville; University of California, Berkeley; University of Virginia, Charlottesville sp8yh@virginia.edu Odors are dispersed across aquatic habitats by turbulent water flow as filamentous, intermittent plumes. Many […]
Hydrodynamic gait identification in squid using volumetric flow imaging
Meeting Abstract 81.4 Sunday, Jan. 6 Hydrodynamic gait identification in squid using volumetric flow imaging BARTOL, I.K.*; KRUEGER, P.S.; THOMPSON, J.T.; Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA; Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX; Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, PA ibartol@odu.edu Squids employ two fundamentally distinct mechanisms of propulsion, pulsed jetting and fin oscillations. Simultaneously quantifying complex wake vortex flows […]
Fluid dynamics of forward swimming and turning in jellyfish
Meeting Abstract 81.3 Sunday, Jan. 6 Fluid dynamics of forward swimming and turning in jellyfish MILLER, L. A. ; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill lam9@unc.edu Jellyfish propel themselves through the water through periodic contractions of their elastic bells. Some jellyfish, such as the box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora and the upside down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana, can perform […]
Behavior and adhesion of settling marine larvae in turbulent pulses of water flow
Meeting Abstract 81.1 Sunday, Jan. 6 Behavior and adhesion of settling marine larvae in turbulent pulses of water flow KOEHL, M.A.R.; Univ. of California, Berkeley cnidaria@berkeley.edu Many benthic marine animals produce microscopic larvae that are dispersed by ocean currents. These larvae can only recruit into new habitats on which they have landed if they can resist being […]
