Experimental evidence for latent developmental plasticity: intertidal whelks respond to a native but not an introduced predator.

Biology letters - 23 Aug 2008

Edgell Timothy C, Neufeld Christopher J

Abstract excerpt

Animals with highly inducible traits may show no inducible response when exposed to a related but wholly novel cue. This appears to be true for the intertidal whelk Nucella lamellosa faced with a voracious introduced predator. In the laboratory, we exposed whelks to effluent from two species of predatory crab, the native red rock crab Cancer productus and the invasive European green crab Carcinus maenas. Nucella...
