An analysis of water flow in tube living animals
TLDR
Water flow has been studied in six tube-dwelling animals that have different pumping mechanism and layout of their tube systems and the characteristics of the pumping mechanisms and the resistance of the tube systems have been found.About:

The Effects of Macrobenthos on Chemical Properties of Marine Sediment and Overlying Water
TL;DR: In the case of marine sedimentary deposits, the dominant agents of mass transport are often large bottom-dwelling animals that move particles and fluids during feeding, burrowing, tube construction, and irrigation as discussed by the authors.

Feeding and Nonfeeding Larval Development and Life-History Evolution in Marine Invertebrates
TL;DR: Many marine invertebrates have elaborate feeding larval forms whereas others, sometimes within the same taxon, have more direct development, and questions about the evolution and consequences of the life histories of these forms are raised.

Suspension feeding in the polychaete Nereis diversicolor
TL;DR: It was found that N. diversicolor pumps about 40 1 of water per m1 oxygen consumed, and the worm thus fulfills conditions for subsisting exclusively as a suspension feeder in shallow brackish water areas.
