Sam Van Wassenbergh associate research professor Sam Van Wassenbergh Effects on lateral expansion during suction feeding The enlarged jaw muscles tightly cover the suspensoria, which are (especially in the hard-biting species) firmly connected to the neurocranium. Consequently, the jaw adductor hype…

Sam Van Wassenbergh associate research professor Sam Van Wassenbergh Modulation and variability of prey capture kinematics Huysentruyt and co-workers (2004, see lab publications) showed that the species with jaw adductor hypertrophy have a less diverse diet.

Sam Van Wassenbergh associate research professor Sam Van Wassenbergh A model of mouth closing movements in Clariidae: the role of enlarged jaw adductors Faster accelerations of the lower jaw can be expected from fishes that have large and forceful jaw muscles. Therefore, the observed jaw adductor hy…

Sam Van Wassenbergh associate research professor Sam Van Wassenbergh No trade-off between biting and suction performance It is generally assumed that biting performance trades off with suction performance in fish because both feeding types may place conflicting demands on the cranial musculo-skeleta…
