摘要: The response of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica to presence drill Urosalpinx cinerea was examined from July September 2011. Several aspects growth were measured, including wet weight, shell weight and left (cupped) area for oysters collected near Groton, Connecticut (41.32036 N, -72.06330 W). Wet significantly higher in predator U. cinerea, while tissue showed no difference control. control group more a much lower ratio growth. Differences indicated that C. dramatically shifted lateral thickening cinerea. This inducible defense has not been previously shown could play an important role predator-prey interaction between
