That definitely works, and people have studied the biomechanics of this system in some detail. But to develop it into aerial plankton suggests that animals should perhaps most of their lies in the air, in turn requiring chances to come upon food, mates, etc. I do not yet see how you would get plants going in the air: there is water, but where are the nutrients?Sigmund Nastrazzurrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449461215427527447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821098719340852065.post-70581795669679855202012-12-03T22:53:49.057+01:002012-12-03T22:53:49.057+01:00Heh, I watch Mozchops on DevART- his visions are q...Heh, I watch Mozchops on DevART- his visions are quite unique. I agree with rodlox- very often real insects are far stranger than fictional creations. However inventive an artist is, nature always comes up with something weirder. (:<br /><br />I have a question regarding ariel plankton and small ballonts- what about those little baby spiders that "balloon" beneath a string of spider silk in the wind? This is not actual ballooning, but rather mechanical kiting, I know- but small "kites" and "parachutes" like this are a way that you could have flying plankton even though small ballonts will not work. Any thoughts?Christopher Phoenixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821098719340852065.post-18197545765400821752012-07-15T11:37:13.677+02:002012-07-15T11:37:13.677+02:00Rodlox: You are right in that real insects can loo...Rodlox: You are right in that real insects can look extremely bizarre.
