THE SWIM-AND-SINK BEHAVIOUR OF COPEPODS: A REVISIT TO MECHANICAL POWER REQUIREMENT AND A NEW HYPOTHESIS ON FUNCTION

The swim-and-sink behaviour of copepods: a revisit to mechanical power requirement and a new hypothesis on function

Many copepods display a swim-and-sink behaviour, which is not energetically efficient but probably aids in perceiving and capturing diatom chains.Here, computational fluid dynamics was Coffee Tables employed to calculate the mechanical power required by a negatively buoyant, self-propelled copepod in swim-and-sink versus hovering.The results show t

Testing for differences in the monthly mean prices of selected food items in Lagos and Ogun states using doubly multivariate T2 statistic

The work investigates differences in Gloves the mean vectors of the monthly prices of ten selected food items (crate-of-egg, brown-bean, local-rice, frozen-chicken, white-cassava flakes, yellow-cassava flakes, agriculture-rice, tomato, yam, and palm-oil) in Lagos State and Ogun State.The paired multivariate T2 statistic (also referred to as the dou
