Parallel evolution of passive and active defence in land snails.

Scientific reports - 11 Nov 2016

Morii Yuta, Prozorova Larisa, Chiba Satoshi

Abstract excerpt

Predator-prey interactions are major processes promoting phenotypic evolution. However, it remains unclear how predation causes morphological and behavioural diversity in prey species and how it might lead to speciation. Here, we show that substantial divergence in the phenotypic traits of prey species has occurred among closely related land snails as a result of adaptation to predator attacks. This caused the...
