Suction Flows Generated by the Carnivorous Bladderwort <i>Utricularia</i>—Comparing Experiments with Mechanical and Mathematical Models
Suction feeding is a well-understood feeding mode among macroscopic aquatic organisms. The little we know about small suction feeders from larval fish suggests that small suction feeders are not effective. Yet bladderworts, an aquatic carnivorous plant with microscopic underwater traps, have strong...
