Feeling, following, feeding, fleeing: a copepod's life at low Reynolds number

TL;DR

This paper explores copepod behavior in low Reynolds number fluid dynamics, highlighting their movement and survival strategies in such environments.

Contribution

It provides new insights into copepod behavior at low Re, combining visualizations and analysis of their movement patterns.

Findings

Copepods exhibit unique movement strategies at low Re.

Behavioral adaptations help copepods survive in viscous environments.

Fluid dynamics influence copepod feeding and fleeing responses.

Abstract

In this fluid dynamics video, we present various aspects of copepod behavior at low Re.
