Predation Pressure and Gastropod Foraging: A Tropical-Temperate Comparison [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1981
Over the last two decades, theories of species diversity (Huston, 1979), antipredation phenomena (Vermeij, 1978) and reproductive effort (Cody, 1966) have involved a temperate-tropical gradient in predation. Comparative tropical-temperate observations in a number of systems support the case for an increase in predation intensity with a decrease in ...
