  ABSTRACT: Since the early 1920’s, the feeding mechanism of Daphnia has been defined as a sieving action. The use of cinematographic methodology and fluid dynamics analyses confirmed a historical turning point from sieving to an assembly mechanism. Filtration and capillarity were dismissed, whereas fluid dynamics principles supported the assembly hypothesis.
