As a guideline, nekton are larger and tend to swim largely at biologically high Reynolds numbers (>10 3 and up beyond 10 9), where inertial flows are the rule, and eddies (vortices) are easily shed. Plankton, on the other hand, are small and, if they swim at all, do so at biologically low Reynolds numbers (0.001 to 10), where the viscous ...

[ 9 ] As an intensification of the progressive reduction of wing size in auks, the evolution of flippers in penguins was at the expense of their flying capabilities.
