Kelly Sutherland, now a postdoctoral scientist at CalTech, and Larry Madin, her doctoral advisor at WHOI, studied the feeding and locomotion of salps, such as this one preserved in a jar. With MIT professor Roman Stocker (not shown), they showed that salps are able to catch and eat some of the smallest particles in the ocean.
