    Notes: [Auszug] For humans, suction feeding is a very occasional activity — used to acquire small balls of tapioca from the bottom of a trendy bubble tea, maybe. By contrast, most fishes use suction to obtain all of their food. Typically, a fish targets an individual prey item and swims close, then snaps ...

    Notes: [Auszug] An unsuspected attachment mechanism may help these huge spiders to avoid catastrophic falls. Spiders spin silk from specialized structures known as abdominal spinnerets — a defining feature of the creatures — and this is deployed to capture prey, protect themselves, reproduce and ...

    Notes: [Auszug] To an underwater observer, mako sharks look a lot like tunas. There is an added frisson from the dental battery of the shark, but the two fishes share a common body plan, colour pattern and even swimming style. On page 61 of this issue, Donley and her colleagues demonstrate that, after 400 ...

    Notes: [Auszug] A crocodile, quietly submerged, waiting to ambush its next meal, is a testament to the benefits of allowing the environment to determine body temperature. Cool water keeps the metabolic rate low, allowing astonishing periods between breaths that can range into hours. Writing in Physiological and ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The cartilaginous skeleton of sharks and rays imposes functional limitations that are not seen in bony fishes. Cartilage is less dense than bone, which helps chondrichthyan (cartilaginous) fishes maintain near neutral buoyancy, but cartilage is also less stiff and strong than bone. ...
