Patterns of diatom treatment in two coexisting species of filter-feeding freshwater gastropods

Patterns of diatom treatment in two coexisting species of filter-feeding freshwater gastropods

To assess trophic partitioning among sympatric gastropod species in ancient lakes, we quantified diatoms in the guts of two coexistent Baikal gastropod species and tested for differences in species, size, and fracturing of large and small diatoms by taenioglossan...
