Mandibular gnathobases of marine planktonic copepods – feeding tools with complex micro- and nanoscale composite architectures
Copepods are dominant members of the marine zooplankton. Their diets often comprise large proportions of diatom taxa whose silicified frustules are mechanically stable and offer protection against grazers. Despite of this protection, many copepod species are able to efficiently break even the most s...
