First filter feeding in the Early Triassic: cranial morphological convergence between Hupehsuchus and baleen whales
Modern baleen whales are unique as large-sized filter feeders, but their roles were replicated much earlier by diverse marine reptiles of the...

Body size mediates the trophic cascade effect of filter-feeding fish [Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (Val.)] on phytoplankton in large enclosures
Stocking of silver carp [ Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (Val.)] is a common tool used in eutrophic aquatic systems to control phytoplankton. As the mesh...

Effects of temperature and particle size on the filter-feeding rate of brine shrimp Artemia franciscana at different growth stages and stocking densities
Brine shrimp Artemia is able to filter particulate substances non-selectively and continuously, and its filtration capacity is related to various...
