Understand how heat flows through food.
Contraction of certain muscles increases the size of the cavity, decreases the pressure in it, and allows the liquids to flow through the food canal into the pump.
Squeeze flow has promising applications in engineering and industrial processes such as bio-mechanics, flow through arteries, food processing, polymer processing, compression, injection modeling, and mechanical, industrial, and chemical engineering.
Although parasites are ubiquitous and often weaken their hosts or curtail their reproduction, their overall role in an ecosystem--in particular how they factor into the energy flow through the food web--is a mystery.
In the last 25 years, endophyte-grass symbioses have been recognized as an important component in agro-ecosystems as they may affect host ability to invade new habitats, organic matter decomposition and energy flow through the food webs (Clay and Schardl 2002; Rudgers et al. 2009).
The heat must flow through the food to cook the rest.
We studied flow through hairy food-capturing appendages (second maxillae) of calanoid copepods, abundant planktonic crustaceans whose feeding on unicellular algae forms an important link in many marine food webs.
"There's more mercury flowing through the food chain than we would have expected".
In addressing this set of challenges, food sovereignty and health equity share a normative and analytical orientation towards equalizing access to power and flows of goods through food systems in order to promote human thriving.
The lack of relationship between patterns of microarthropod abundance and net N mineralization leads us to hypothesize that spatial patterns of nitrogen availability are not closely linked to variation in carbon flow through the detrital food web, within this forested landscape.
