Hydrodynamic and Sensory Factors Governing Response of Copepods to Simulated Predation by Balaenid Whales
Predator/prey interactions between copepods and balaenid (bowhead and right) whales were studied with controlled lab experiments using moving baleen in still water and motionless baleen in flowing water to simulate zooplankton passage toward, into, and through the balaenid oral cavity. Copepods show...
