examine the anterior blind chamber and its purported role as a pneumatic pump, and
extend our fi ndings by investigating the relationship between drag and suction pressure differentials when remoras are exposed to water of varying velocities in fl ume
chambers,” (Fulcher and Motta 2006 ). It would be also be highly useful to obtain
knowledge about the nanostructural organization of the disc, and the molecular
interrelations on this level.
This book covers many different fi elds, and I hope it provides reader with a current survey of biomimetic applications for a diverse range of marine vertebrates.
While certain subjects I have covered here obviously warrant a more in-depth
review, I hope this work server to stimulate interest and further investigations into
these diverse interdisciplinary topics.
