How predator behavior affects the morphology of snail shells

A predated shell

How predator behavior affects the morphology of snail shells

Predator–prey interactions are among the main ecological interactions that shape the diversity of biological form. In many cases, the evolution of the mollusc shell form is presumably driven by predation, however, the adaptive significance of several shell traits of land snails are still poorly known. Therefore, researchers investigated possible anti-predation functions of the unusual Plectostoma shell traits through a series of experiments, involving Atopos slugs -
