Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology predicts suction feeding performance in centrarchid fishes.
TL;DR: A morphological model of force transmission in the fish head was developed and parameterized with measurements from individual fish to reveal a direct trade-off between morphological requirements of feeding on larger prey and the ability to generate subambient pressure while suction feeding on elusive prey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the use of ram and suction during prey capture by cichlid fishes
Peter C. Wainwright,Lara A. Ferry-Graham,Thomas B. Waltzek,Andrew M. Carroll,C. Darrin Hulsey,Justin R. Grubich +5 more
TL;DR: Diversity in prey-capture behavior was found to reflect differences among species in the strategy used to approach prey, interpreted as the result of an expected exponential decline in water velocity with distance from the mouth of the suction-feeding predator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suction feeding mechanics, performance, and diversity in fishes
Peter C. Wainwright,Andrew M. Carroll,David C. Collar,Steven W. Day,Timothy E. Higham,Roi Holzman +5 more
TL;DR: The model indicates that the pressure gradient in front of a fish that is feeding by suction, associated with the gradient in water velocity, results in a force on the prey that is larger than drag or acceleration reaction, even when other features of the suction flow are held constant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding with speed: prey capture evolution in cichilds
TL;DR: A tight evolutionary coupling between ram speed and maximum gape is predicted to be a positive correlation because the accuracy of a predatory strike goes down with an increase in RS and fish with larger mouths eat larger, more evasive prey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle function and power output during suction feeding in largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides
TL;DR: The limitations imposed by the kinematic requirements and loading environment of suction feeding may prevent maximal muscular power production.
