Introduction Any treatment of durophagous (shell-breaking) predation on bivalves and gastropods through geologic time must address the molluscivore's signature preserved in the victim's skeleton. Pre-ingestive breakage or crushing is only one of four methods of molluscivory (Vermeij, 1987; Harper and Skelton, 1993), the others being whole­ organism ingestion, insertion and extraction, and boring. Other authors in this volume treat the last behavior, whereas whole-organism ingestion, and insertion and extraction, however common, are unlikely to leave preservable evidence. Bivalve and gastropod ecologists and paleoecologists reconstruct predator-prey relationships based primarily on two, although not equally useful, categories of pre-ingestive breakage, namely lethal and sublethal (repaired) damage.

In this new habitat, C. maenas encounters North American periwinkles of the genus Littorina that differ from European Littorina spp. in size, shape and shell strength. We hypothesize that the ability to handle prey never encountered previously is a prerequisite for successful invasion of novel habitats. In a first approach to testing our hypothe- sis, we compared European (native) to Canadian (invaded) C. maenas in feeding trials with Litto- rina spp. from Europe as well as Canada. Canadian crabs had significantly larger crusher claws than European crabs of the same size. Prey handling by Baltic crabs, but not by North Sea crabs, significantly depended on shell morphometry and strength of European periwinkles. By contrast, neither European nor Canadian crabs were affected by shell characteristics of the relatively soft- shelled Canadian periwinkles. Baltic and Canadian crabs did not differ in terms of handling time for, and handling success of, different periwinkle species, but North Sea crabs needed more time for, and were less successful in, crushing periwinkles.

  • Intertidal Zones Cnidaria (Stinging Animals)
    Intertidal Zones Cnidaria (stinging animals) Green anemone (Anthopleura anthogrammica) The green anemone is mainly an outer-coast species. Microscopic algae live symbiotically inside this anemone, give the anemone its green color, and provide it with food from photosynthesis. The green anemone can be solitary or live in groups, and are often found in tidepools. This anemone only reproduces sexually. Touch the anemone very gently with one wet finger and see how it feels! Aggregating anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima) The aggregating anemone reproduces both sexually and asexually. It reproduces sexually by releasing eggs and sperm into the water. To reproduce asexually, it stretches itself into an oval column, and then keeps “walking away from itself” until it splits in half. The two “cut” edges of a half-anemone heal together, forming a complete, round column, and two clones instead of one. Aggregate anemone colonies are known for fighting with other colonies of these asexually- produced clones. When different clone colonies meet they will attack each other by releasing the stinging cells in their tentacles. This warfare usually results in an open space between two competing clone colonies known as “a neutral zone”. Aggregate anemones also house symbiotic algae that give the animal its green color. The rest of the food it needs comes from prey items captured by the stinging tentacles such as small crabs, shrimp, or fish. Genetically identical, clones can colonize and completely cover rocks. Be very careful when walking on the rocks…aggregating anemones are hard to spot at first and look like sandy blobs. Watch where you step so you don’t crush anemone colonies.

  • Contrasting Anti-Predation Responses in the Intertidal Periwinkle Littorina Sitkana: Effects of Chemical Cue, Body Size and Time of Day
    Plankton Benthos Res 8(1): 38–45, 2013 Plankton & Benthos Research © The Japanese Association of Benthology Contrasting anti-predation responses in the intertidal periwinkle Littorina sitkana: effects of chemical cue, body size and time of day HISAE OJIMA ＆ SATOSHI WADA* Laboratory of Marine Biology, Graduate School of Fisheries Science, Hokkaido University, 3–1–1 Minato-cho, Hakodate 041– 8611, Japan Received 24 August 2012; Accepted 11 February 2013 Abstract: Some animals show multiple behavioral responses after detection of chemical cues indicating a predation threat. Individuals of the high intertidal periwinkle, Littorina sitkana, showed two contrasting anti-predation re- sponses, immobile cautiousness and active fleeing, against the predatory crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus. This study examined the combined effects of chemical cues of predation threat (crab, crushed conspecific, mixed crab and crushed conspecific, and control), body size, and time (morning, mid-day and late-evening) on the anti-predation be- haviors of L. sitkana. The cautious response of L. sitkana was strongest under the crab treatment, with the earliest fleeing response appearing when presented with the mixed chemical cue of crabs and crushed conspecifics. Time of day also affected the anti-predation responses, with a longer cautious response during late-evening than mid-day under control conditions, and no significant difference between late-evening and mid-day in response to the three types of chemical cues of predation threat. The fleeing response occurred more rapidly during late-evening than mid- day for the four types of chemical conditions; there was no significant difference between morning and mid-day under the control condition; and it occurred more rapidly during morning than mid-day under the three predation threat conditions.
