Using drilled-undrilled shell damage analysis to estimate crushing predation frequencies in modern marine gastropod assemblages

Predation is a frequently studied subject, but estimating crushing predation in mollusk communities is challenging. Shells record successful attacks, but it is not always possible to identify attacks on an individual basis. Repair scar frequency is a common proxy for crushing mortality, but shell re...
