Benthic suspension feeders and flow / David Wildish, David Kristmanson.
Wildish, David, 1939-| Call Number | 577.7/4 |
| Author | Wildish, David, 1939- author. |
| Title | Benthic suspension feeders and flow / David Wildish, David Kristmanson. Benthic Suspension Feeders & Flow |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xiii, 409 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Asking the right question, scientific methods, scientific communication, aims and structure -- Methods of study flow simulation, velocity measurement, seston sampling, specialized methods -- Dispersal and settlement : benthic suspension feeder life cycle, larval dispersal, post-larval dispersal, local hydrodynamics, larval settlement/recruitment -- Flow and the physiology of filtration : background, passive suspension feeders, active suspension feeders, facultative active suspension feeders, combined passive-active suspension feeders, deposit-suspension feeders -- Mechanisms of seston capture : nature of seston, fluxes, encounter rates and collection efficiency, mechanics of capture, seston capture mechanisms -- Behavioral responses to flow : optimizing growth by orientation to flow, avoiding flow dislodgement, epifauna and aggregation, swimming -- Benthic populations and flow : benthic limitation by flow, water movement impoverishment, biological interactions in mixed benthic communities -- Ecosystems and flow : background, marine plant canopies : kelp forests, marine plant canopies : seagrass meadows, bivalve reefs -- Future directions : selecting pertinent scientific questions, proximate, fundamental questions, proximate, applied benthic biology questions, ultimate questions. |
| Summary | This 1997 book is about those animals found on the sea floor that live by filtering microscopic particles carried to them by water currents. Its purpose is to review what is known about the biology of suspension feeders in relation to their flow environment. The book includes the larval biology, physiology, ethology and ecology of suspension feeders interacting with water flow. It will be of value to marine scientists beginning research in the interdisciplinary field of hydrodynamics and benthic biology, and it is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of this synthesis from the biological viewpoint. |
