Figure 1


Fig. 1. Representative profiles of gape kinematics (open diamonds), the distance between the center of the predator's mouth and the prey (grey triangles), and the force exerted on the prey (closed circles) in largemouth bass (A) and bluegill (B). In largemouth bass, the distance between the predator and the prey is closed by swimming towards the prey from a distance. In bluegill, that distance is closed through jaw protrusion after a period of minimal ram (time 0–20 ms in B). Shaded area represents negative predator–prey distance, i.e. the prey is in the mouth. Note the different force scale in A and B.
