Fluid Mechanoreception by Marine Copepods.
1997
Yen, Jeannette | Okubo, Akira
Copepods are small (1-10 mm) crustaceans that inhabit lakes and oceans. When a copepod moves through water or moves water around itself, it creates a fluid disturbance distinct from the ambient fluid motion. In this study of 'Fluid mechanoreception by marine copepods', we seek an understanding of how copepods decipher and recognize fluid signals created and transmitted within a 3-dimensional aquatic environment that is filled with small-scale turbulence.
