Trait compensation in marine gastropods: shell shape, avoidance behavior, and susceptibility to predation [PDF]
, 2004 Many organisms have evolved morphological and behavioral traits that reduce their susceptibility to predation. However, few studies have explicitly investigated the relationships between defensive traits and susceptibility. Here we demonstrate a negative

THE EVOLUTION OF APOSEMATISM IN MARINE GASTROPODS [PDF]
Evolution, 1991 In a recent review of the literature on marine gastropods, Rosenberg (1989) concludes that in this group,".. . as in the lepidopterans, . . . individual selection is the predominant mode of evolution of warning coloration." Rosenberg's analysis raises interesting issues concerning the evolution of aposematism generally, and in marine gastropods in ...

Sexual selection gradients change over time in a simultaneous hermaphrodite
eLife, 2017 Sexual selection is generally predicted to act more strongly on males than on females. The Darwin-Bateman paradigm predicts that this should also hold for hermaphrodites.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Chemoreception is one of the most important senses and it plays a key role in the survival and adaptation of animals to their environments. Many gastropods, such as Rapana venosa and Neptunea cumingii, have emerged as economically important shellfish ...

Gastropod Seed Dispersal: An Invasive Slug Destroys Far More Seeds in Its Gut than Native Gastropods [PDF]
, 2013 Seed dispersal is one of the most important mechanisms shaping biodiversity, and animals are one of the key dispersal vectors. Animal seed dispersal can directly or indirectly be altered by invasive organisms through the establishment of new or the ...

Impacts of Neonicotinoids on Molluscs: What We Know and What We Need to Know
Toxics, 2021 The broad utilisation of neonicotinoids in agriculture has led to the unplanned contamination of adjacent terrestrial and aquatic systems around the world.

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021 Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Diversity of gastropoda in the Pepe River Parangtritis, Bantul, D.I. Yogyakarta [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesGastropods are quite abundant in nature and their role in river ecosystems is very important. The Pepe River empties in the middle of Parangtritis Beach so it will be affected by tourism developed in the area.

Herbivore and detritivore effects on rainforest plant production are altered by disturbance
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Consumer effects on rainforest primary production are often considered negligible because herbivores and macrodetritivores usually consume a small fraction of annual plant and litter production, even though consumers are known to have effects on plant ...
