The Origin of Filter Feeding in Whales [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 As the largest known vertebrates of all time, mysticetes depend on keratinous sieves called baleen to capture enough small prey to sustain their enormous size [1]. The origins of baleen are controversial: one hypothesis suggests that teeth were lost during a suction-feeding stage of mysticete evolution and that baleen evolved thereafter [2-4], whereas ...

Fishes, 2023 Filter-feeding invertebrates such as bivalves have been shown to improve the health of aquatic systems by reducing concentrations of bacteria and other harmful suspended organisms, but it remains unknown if microphagous suspension-feeding fishes can ...

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 ...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Lateral palatal foramina do not indicate baleen in fossil whales
Scientific Reports, 2022 Today’s mysticetes filter-feed using baleen, a novel integumentary structure with no apparent homolog in any living mammal. The origins of filter-feeding and baleen can be informed by the fossil record, including rare instances of soft tissue ...

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 ...

Rates of Filtration and Ingestion of a Microalga by Philodina roseola (Rotifera: Bdelloidea)
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2016 Rotifers play an important role in biogeochemical cycles and organic productivity of freshwater ecosystems due to their high metabolic rates. Information on filter feeding, their main process of energy acquisition, are relevant and still scarce for ...

PLoS ONE, 2017 The effects of stocking both filter-feeding fish and piscivorous fish were compared to the effects of stocking only filter-feeding fish for suppressing algal blooms and improving water quality in the impoundment area of Xiaojiang River where catfish were
