A combination of scanning electron microscopy,                          high-speed video microscopy, and manipulation of particle                       characteristics will be used to experimentally investigate                      and analyze prey capture and selection by bivalve larvae.                       Specifically, the research will address the following                           questions:  1) What are the relative roles of direct                            interception and hydrodynamic processes in particle                             capture by the cilia of bivalve larvae;  2)  How do the                         physiochemical properties of particles (size,                                   electrostatic charge and density) effect particle capture                       and selection;  3) Does post-capture selection occur?                           This integrated approach includes functional morphology,                        hydrodynamics and biophysics, and should be useful in                           better understanding the feeding biology of bivalve larvae                      and other planktonic ciliary suspension feeders.
