Meeting Abstract S12.9  Wednesday, Jan. 7 14:00  This fish doesn’t suck: Deviations suction feeding in a biomechanical morphospace FERRY, LA*; GIBB, AC; PAIG-TRAN, EW; Arizona State University; Northern Arizona University; California State University, Fullerton lara.ferry@asu.edu Suction is used as a primary mode of prey capture by the vast majority of aquatic-feeding vertebrates, and fishes exhibit a myriad […]

Meeting Abstract S12.5  Wednesday, Jan. 7 10:30  The sensory-motor basis of evasion strategy in prey fish MCHENRY, MJ; UC Irvine mmchenry@uci.edu http://mchenrylab.bio.uci.edu Suction feeding can rapidly capture prey, but it is only effective over a limited spatial range for a brief duration. These constraints present opportunities for a prey fish to evade capture. We have examined the […]

Meeting Abstract S12.4  Wednesday, Jan. 7 10:00  Suction feeding in low Reynolds numbers: Hydrodynamic and biomechanic constraints on larval fishes feeding HOLZMAN, Roi*; CHINA, Victor; ZILKA, Miri; ELMALICH, Tal; YANIV, Sarit; ELAD, David; TAU; TAU; TAU; TAU; TAU; TAU holzman@post.tau.ac.il http://iui-eilat.ac.il/People/AcademicStaffProfile.aspx?sid=106 Larval fish suffer prodigious mortality rates during the transition from feeding on their yolk sac to […]

Meeting Abstract S12.7  Wednesday, Jan. 7 11:30  Suction Feeding Evolution: Innovations and Major Patterns of Diversification WAINWRIGHT, P.C.; Univ. of California, Davis pcwainwright@ucdavis.edu http://fishlab.ucdavis.edu With a few minor exceptions, suction feeding is unique to vertebrates, where it is almost ubiquitous among fish and aquatic tetrapods. This dominance reflects both effectiveness and constraints as even the aquatic lineages […]

Meeting Abstract S12.2  Wednesday, Jan. 7 08:30  Reevaluating musculoskeletal cranial linkages in suction feeding fishes with X-Ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) CAMP, A.L.*; BRAINERD, E.L.; Brown University; Brown University ariel_camp@brown.edu During suction feeding in fishes, musculoskeletal linkages and levers transform muscle shortening into cranial expansion. These linkage theories were developed from morphology, manipulation and modeling, and […]

Meeting Abstract S12.1  Wednesday, Jan. 7 08:00  Mechanical Models of Suction Feeding DAY, Steven W; Rochester Institute of Technology Steven.Day@RIT.edu Suction feeders generate a flow of water into their mouth with a rapid and highly coordinated movement of multiple muscle and skeletal elements in the jaw. Successful prey capture is dependent on the fluid flow and the […]

Meeting Abstract S12.11  Wednesday, Jan. 7 15:00  Integrating approaches to biomechanics: developmental phenogenomics of stickleback evolution JAMNICZKY, Heather A*; ROGERS, Sean M; University of Calgary, Canada; University of Calgary, Canada hajamnic@ucalgary.ca The tight fits between form and function in organisms suggests the influence of adaptive evolution in biomechanics; however, the prevalence of adaptive traits, the mechanisms by […]

Meeting Abstract S12.10  Wednesday, Jan. 7 14:30  Cypriniform suction feeding: Evolving in and out of the ooze HERNANDEZ, LP*; STAAB, KL; George Washington University; McDaniel College phernand@gwu.edu While much of the functional work on suction feeding has involved members of Acanthopterygii, a much older cypriniform radiation led to almost 4000 species filling nearly every freshwater trophic niche. […]

Meeting Abstract S12.6  Wednesday, Jan. 7 11:00  Copepod escape from suction feeding fish YEN, J.*; MURPHY, D.W.; WEBSTER, D.R.; Georgia Tech; Johns Hopkins ; Georgia Tech jeannette.yen@biology.gatech.edu http://www.biology.gatech.edu/faculty/jeannette-yen/ Copepods escape very well. As a key link in the aquatic food web, these small planktonic organisms often encounter suction feeding fish. Studies have identified certain hydrodynamic features that […]

Meeting Abstract S12.3  Wednesday, Jan. 7 09:00  Computational fluid dynamics of suction feeding VAN WASSENBERGH, S.; Ghent University, Belgium sam.vanwassenbergh@ugent.be http://https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/staff/sam-vanwassenbergh/my-website/ Suction feeders generate a flow of water that draws the prey into the mouth. This process involves extremely unsteady flow, outside as well as inside of the mouth cavity. Especially for flow patterns inside the mouth […]
