Species-specific avoidance responses by blue crabs and fish to chronic and episodic hypoxia (2005, background): “Clam and polychaete prey migrate vertically to the sediment surface during exposure to hypoxia (Diaz and Rosenberg 1995; Taylor and Eggleston 2000; Tallqvist 2001 ).”
Effect of hypoxia and anoxia on invertebrate behaviour: Ecological perspectives from species to community level (2013, background): “Weakened or altered functionally important biological interactions, such as predator—prey dynamics, can derail community dynamics long before extensive mortalities occur (Brante and Hughes, 2001; Tallqvist, 2001; Seitz et al., 2003).”
Low dissolved oxygen levels reduce anti-predation behaviours of the freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea (2005, background): “Because more shallow burial depth may increase vulnerability to predation (Taylor & Eggleston, 2000; Tallqvist, 2001), this experiment partially supports the idea that infaunal bivalves face a tradeoff between reducing predation risk by maximising burial depth, and increasing access to the water col”
