Interactions between seagrass complexity, hydrodynamic flow and biomixing alter food availability for associated filter-feeding organisms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Seagrass shoots interact with hydrodynamic forces and thereby a positively or negatively influence the survival of associated species. The modification of these forces indirectly alters the physical transport and flux of edible particles within seagrass ...

The combined effects of filter-feeding bivalves (Cristaria plicata) and submerged macrophytes (Hydrilla verticillate) on phytoplankton assemblages in nutrient-enriched freshwater mesocosms [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Freshwater ecosystems are threatened by eutrophication, which causes persistent and harmful algal blooms. Filter-feeding bivalve mollusks and submerged macrophytes (SMs) alleviate the eutrophication effects by inhibiting phytoplankton biomass blooms ...

Phytoplankton control by stocking of filter-feeding fish in a subtropical plateau reservoir, southwest China [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Stocking of filter-feeding fish (mainly Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Aristichthys nobilis) is a common method used in lakes and reservoirs in (sub)tropical China to control phytoplankton, but the results are ambiguous and lack long-term data to ...

Top‐down effects of filter‐feeding fish and bivalves moderate bottom‐up effects of nutrients on phytoplankton in subtropical shallow lakes: An outdoor mesocosm study [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Biomanipulation has been widely used in the ecological restoration of eutrophic lakes for decades. However, biomanipulation is prone to failure if external nutrient loads are not reduced.

Earliest filter-feeding pterosaur from the Jurassic of China and ecological evolution of Pterodactyloidea [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Pterosaurs were a unique clade of flying reptiles that were contemporaries of dinosaurs in Mesozoic ecosystems. The Pterodactyloidea as the most species-diverse group of pterosaurs dominated the sky during Cretaceous time, but earlier phases of their ...

Functional trade-offs and innovation shape the adaptive landscape of aquatic mammal feeding [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Functional trade-offs are inherent in phenotypes due to the need to balance multiple competing selection pressures. Traditionally regarded as constraints on evolution, trade-offs have recently been reframed as facilitators of adaptation via the ...
