Antipredator defence mechanism in the amphidromous shrimp xiphocaris elongata (decapoda: xiphocarididae): rostrum length

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Puerto Rico and colleagues from the DepartmentUniversity of Miami, USA have published the article: Antipredator defence mechanism in the amphidromous shrimp Xiphocaris elongata (Decapoda: Xiphocarididae): rostrum length, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 08/04/2016
• what: This study provides evidence in support of the hypothesis that the long rostrum in X. elongata is an effective antipredator defence against A. monticola by conferring benefits in most stages of the predator-prey interactions. The sizes of the fish and the shrimp chosen for the experiments were the most common sizes collected. The authors demonstrate that rostrum . . .
