THE SWIM-AND-SINK BEHAVIOUR OF COPEPODS: A REVISIT TO MECHANICAL POWER REQUIREMENT AND A NEW HYPOTHESIS ON FUNCTION

The swim-and-sink behaviour of copepods: a revisit to mechanical power requirement and a new hypothesis on function

Many copepods display a swim-and-sink behaviour, which Playpens is not energetically efficient but probably aids in perceiving and capturing diatom chains.Here, computational fluid dynamics was employed to calculate the mechanical power required by a negatively buoyant, self-propelled copepod in swim-and-sink versus hovering.The results show that u

La figura di Daniele Farsetti collezionista negli epistolari

The last setting of the Farsetti picture gallery, the least studied part of the collection owned by this Venetian family, was already attributed to Daniele.Now, two unpublished letters written by Daniele to Skid Shoes the Bergamasque Sebastiano Muletti not only confirm his role, but also portray a figure of connoisseur of manuscripts, printed books

Genomic Prediction and Selection for Fruit Traits in Winter Squash

Improving fruit quality is an important but challenging breeding goal in winter squash.Squash breeding in general is resource-intensive, especially in terms of space, and the Denture Care biology of squash makes it difficult to practice selection on both parents.These restrictions translate to smaller breeding populations and limited use of greenho
