The brooding gastropod Crepipatella dilatata can feed by scraping the substrate with the
radula and by suspension-feeding, which also requires use of the radula. There is a …

The gastropod Crepidula fecunda feeds in 2 distinct ways: grazing of the substrate and
suspension feeding. The taenioglossan radula plays a role in both processes. In the former …

Sessile females of the gastropod Crepidula fecunda are exclusively suspension-feeders.
Our previous work showed that particles removed from suspension are entrained on the gill …

Protandrism was confirmed in Crepidula fecunda Gallardo 1979 by histological analysis of
the gonad. Individuals were classified as immature (12 mm or less in shell length), male (13 …

New observations on the feeding behavior of Corophium volutator, collected from the Menai
Strait, Anglesey, UK in 1981, show that detritus drawn into one entrance of the U-shaped …

Three models for radular feeding in gastropod molluscs have been proposed:(1)
odontophoral licking, where the radula is fixed to, and is directed by, a dynamic cartilage;(2) …

This study investigates the feeding ecology of the semi-terrestrial smooth shore crab,
Cyclograpsus lavauxi (Milne-Edwards, 1853) from Kaikoura during 1988-1989. It includes …

1. Diet composition and the production of embryos were measured in Asplanchna girodi and
Asplanchna priodonta collected through 3 years in the San Joaquin‐Sacramento delta of …

Pagurus longicarpus readily removes small prey (Artemia nauplii) from suspension under
laboratory conditions. In our experiments, clearance rates of recently hatched nauplii were …

The planktonic rotifer Ascomorpha ovalis feeds on large dinoflagellates (eg Ceratium sp.,
Peridinium sp.) and is able to extract their cell contents by means of its virgate mastax. This …
