ME34A:
Biological-Physical Interactions at Organismal Scales from Sediments to the Water Column III Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session

Session ID#: 9962

Session Description:
Considerable advancement in understanding the diverse ways that organisms interact with their environment has been made by applying quantitative, mechanistic approaches based on physical principles. This session welcomes a broad range of studies across habitats and taxa including free and attached unicellular organisms to a range of multicellular invertebrates, from the deep sea to the intertidal, and from sediments to the water column that identify limitations in theory or experimental capability and apply new theoretical frameworks or develop novel techniques. We seek reports of mechanistic approaches leading to advances in understanding of feeding, digestion, and locomotion by infaunal and planktonic organisms, animal-sediment interactions, and impacts of fluid dynamics on ecological functions of organisms. Contributions are welcomed from scientists and educators focused on interactions of organisms and environments that highlight novel syntheses or theory, application of other fields to ecological questions, and integration of theory with experiment.
