The fossil record is the primary source of data used to study predator-prey interactions in
deep time and to evaluate key questions regarding the evolutionary and ecological …

Biological invasions constitute one of the main problems for the conservation of marine
environments and are among the major causes of biodiversity reduction. The green crabs …

Predatory traces, in which the tracemaker has damaged the prey animal's skeleton to kill
and consume it, have a deep fossil history and have received much scientific attention …

Drilling predation is frequently studied in the fossil record. Less information is available from
recent environments, however. Previous studies have indicated that drilling predation is …

In this work we studied bioerosion and encrustation on dead shells of the shallow benthic
clam Venus antiqua from Patagonia Argentina with the aim of understanding biotic …

Biological interactions between organisms have long been believed to be very important in
structuring communities and, when scaled up over geological time, in the evolution of …

Predation represents a major cause of death within marine ecosystems, acting as a major
agent of natural selection and evolution. Crushing predation in particular is important, as …

Several methods have been developed to standardize frequencies of failed shell-crushing
predation preserved as repair scars on the shells of mollusks to account for factors known to …

Three species of chemosymbiotic bivalves with different inferred sulfide tolerances and life
habits from a lower Oligocene seep deposit in eastern Hokkaido, Japan, were investigated …

Drillholes represent one of the clearest lines of evidence for predation of benthic
invertebrates in the fossil record and are frequently used as a primary proxy for predation …
