Carnivore
A carnivore, meaning "meat eater" (Latin, caro, genitive carnis, meaning "meat" or "flesh" and vorare meaning "to devour"), is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue, whether through predation or scavenging.

Consumer-resource systems
Consumer-resource interactions are the core motif of ecological food chains or food webs, and are an umbrella term for a variety of more specialized types of biological species interactions including prey-predator (see predation), host-parasite (see parasitism), plant-herbivore and victim-exploiter systems.

Filter feeder
Filter feeders are a sub-group of suspension feeding animals that feed by straining suspended matter and food particles from water, typically by passing the water over a specialized filtering structure.

Food chain
A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms (such as grass or trees which use radiation from the Sun to make their food) and ending at apex predator species (like grizzly bears or killer whales), detritivores (like earthworms or woodlice), or decomposer species (such as fungi or bacteria).

List of feeding behaviours
Feeding is the process by which organisms, typically animals, obtain food.

Megamouth shark
The megamouth shark (Megachasma pelagios) is a species of deepwater shark.
New!!: Planktivore and Megamouth shark · See more »
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities (energy transformation).

Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton are the autotrophic (self-feeding) components of the plankton community and a key part of oceans, seas and freshwater basin ecosystems.
New!!: Planktivore and Phytoplankton · See more »
Plankton
Plankton (singular plankter) are the diverse collection of organisms that live in large bodies of water and are unable to swim against a current.
New!!: Planktivore and Plankton · See more »
Productivity (ecology)
In ecology, productivity refers to the rate of generation of biomass in an ecosystem.

Shark
Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head.
New!!: Planktivore and Shark · See more »
Titanichthys
Titanichthys is a genus of giant, aberrant marine placoderm from shallow seas of the Late Devonian of Morocco, Eastern North America, and possibly Europe.
New!!: Planktivore and Titanichthys · See more »
Trophic cascade
Trophic cascades are powerful indirect interactions that can control entire ecosystems, occurring when predators in a food web suppress the abundance or alter the behavior of their prey, thereby releasing the next lower trophic level from predation (or herbivory if the intermediate trophic level is a herbivore).

Trophic level
The trophic level of an organism is the position it occupies in a food chain.
New!!: Planktivore and Trophic level · See more »
Vertebrate
Vertebrates comprise all species of animals within the subphylum Vertebrata (chordates with backbones).
New!!: Planktivore and Vertebrate · See more »
Whale
Whales are a widely distributed and diverse group of fully aquatic placental marine mammals.
New!!: Planktivore and Whale · See more »
Zooplankton
Zooplankton are heterotrophic (sometimes detritivorous) plankton.
