Similarly with wood borers: piddocks (Pholadidae) are more common in hardwoods, while shipworms (Teredinidae) favour softwoods. Squid and octopuses have a well-developed nervous system and large eyes which are similar to human eyes. The two processes, clearance and filtration, are independently controlled in bivalves. The gills are covered with cilia that create the feeding current. } { .woocommerce nav.woocommerce-pagination ul.page-numbers li a.prev, 4 years ago. a, .comment-reply-link, a.read-more{ color:#ff9933;

Prey items include small bottom-dwelling crustaceans, polychaete worms, and larvae of other benthic animals. Many deepwater Anomalodesmata have modified the typical bivalve ctenidium into a septum—the “septibranch” ctenidium—that creates pressure changes within the mantle cavity and produces sudden inrushes of water, carrying prey into a funnellike inhalant siphon (Cuspidaria). Under optimal conditions, bivalves tend to filter the ambient water at a maximum rate but under suboptimal environmental conditions, including low or very high algal concentrations, the filtration rate is reduced. } When did organ music become associated with baseball?
