Predation in the marine fossil record: Studies, data, recognition, environmental factors, and behavior (2019, background): “documented in experimental settings (Rovero et al., 1999; Smith and Jennings, 2000).”
How to toughen up your mussels: using mussel shell morphological plasticity to reduce predation losses (2003, background): “Crab numbers at the site are highest over the warmer summer months (Hunter and Naylor 1993; Aagaard et al. 1995), so the observed increased compressive strength may indicate a morphological response to waterborne cues resulting from crab predation on mussels (Leonard et al. 1999; Smith and Jennings”
Field evidence of trait-mediated indirect interactions in a rocky intertidal food web (2002, background): “However, many intertidal predators are known to induce behavioural (Phillips 1976; Fishlyn & Phillips 1980; Hadlock 1980; Marko & Palmer 1991) and morphological (Lively 1986; Appleton & Palmer 1988; Palmer 1990; Trussell 1996, 2000; Leonard et al. 1999; Smith & Jennings 2000; Trussell & Smith 2000”
Comparative vulnerability to predators, and induced defense responses, of eastern oysters Crassostrea virginica and non-native Crassostrea ariakensis oysters in Chesapeake Bay (2007, background): “Shell thickness is generally recognized to be a good predictor of strength in bivalves because a thick shell is an obvious means to thwart predation (e.g., Vermeij 1987; Leonard et al. 1999; Smith and Jennings 2000; Zuschin and Stanton 2001).”
