Flow disturbances generated by feeding and swimming zooplankton
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Plankton compromise their survival when they swim and feed because the fluid disturbances that they generate may be perceived by predators. Because the abundance and population dynamics of zooplankton in the ocean are governed by their access to food and exposure to predators, an important question is to what extent and how zooplankton may minimize the fluid disturbances that they generate. We show that when swimming and feeding are integrated processes, zooplankton generate fluid disturbances that extend much farther in the water than is the case for zooplankton that swim only to relocate. Quiet swimming is achieved through “breast swimming” or by swimming by jumping, whereas other propulsion modes are much noisier. This pattern applies independent of organism size and species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
