No references found | The Echinodermata are represented by a number of groups: Crinoidea, represented by articulated calyxes and disarticulated columnals and brachials; Blastoidea, represented by columnals and calyxes, especially those of Pentremites conoideus; Echinoidea, represented by disarticulated interambulacral plates as well as several largely intact specimens; and Asteroidea, represented by one nearly complete specimen, as well as disarticulated dorsal plates from the same species. KEY WORDS: asteroidea, bivalvia, crustacea, predation, shell morphology, trade-offs, trait-mediated interactions INTRODUCTION The foraging selectivity of predators has consequences for the survival and phenotype of prey species, and subsequently for community structure via indirect effects on predators sharing a common prey (Werner & Peacor 2003). |
