When an unsuspecting tadpole, fairy shrimp, or insect comes along, the water scorpion lunges forward and grabs it with razor sharp front legs. |
The skeleton of the tadpole was defined as the centerline axis of the body. |
When stretched at fixed displacement, the toroid undergoes a transition from an ellipse to a tadpole regime. |
Mechanical testing of the tadpole tail fin has revealed that the fin is viscoelastic and stiffer in small rather than large deformations. |
The tadpole shrimp is simply a critter that is in the right place at the right time, when it comes to annual weed control. |
In the tadpole larvae and appendicularians, the dorsal nerve cord is well developed. |
