Effects of disruptive grazing by the mud snail Ilyanassa obsoleta on mudflat nematode populations
Population densities of the mud snail Ilyanassa obsoleta were manipulated in caging experiments on a salt marsh mudflat and in laboratory microcosms. Mud snails outcompete nematodes for food resources, but may increase resources available to deposit feeding groups. Mud snails reduce annelid (polycha...
