1. Bivalve

   Linked via "hydrostatic balance"

   Anatomy and Physiology
   The body plan of a typical bivalve is fundamentally adapted for a life within a bivalved enclosure. The two shells, the left and right valve, are held together dorsally by a flexible ligament/) and may be closed forcefully by adductor muscles. The musculature is vital for defense and maintaining the internal hydrostatic balance.
   Internally, the visceral mass is compressed between the two valves. Respiration occurs via large, complex [gills](/entr…

2. Convective Tower

   Linked via "hydrostatic balance"

   The development of a robust convective tower is contingent upon a sufficiently high Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE)/). The primary driver is the adiabatic cooling upon ascent, which leads to condensation and the release of latent heat. This latent heat release is the fundamental source of positive buoyancy ($\mathcal{B}$).
   The maximum potential updraft velocity ($w_{\text{max}}$) within the tower is approximated by the simplified equation deri…
