Effect of durophagy on drilling predation: a case study of Cenozoic molluscs from North America

Abstract: Drilling predation represents one of the most widely studied biotic interactions preserved in the fossil record, and complete and incomplete drill holes have been commonly used to explore spatial and temporal patterns of this phenomenon. While such patterns are generally viewed solely in terms of the interactions between predator and prey, they might also be affected by extrinsic ecological factors. Recent experiments have demonstrated that in the presence of a secondary predator (crab), the incomplete drillin… Show more

“…Predator-prey interactions constitute a major ecological process which affects individuals, populations and communities, and links various organisms within and across ecosystems (Kowalewski and Leighton, 2007). Studying predator-prey interactions in deep time also helps evaluate its effect on the diversity, evolution and distribution of a group (Paine, 1966;Vermeij, 1977Vermeij, , 1987Roy, 1996;Kelley and Hansen, 2003;Leighton and Aronowsky, 2003;Chattopadhyay and Baumiller, 2010;among others). Predator-prey systems involving drilling predation on mollusk shells are especially relevant for paleontologists because the evidence of predation can be analyzed quantitatively.…”

“…The frequency of repaired scars is a commonly used indicator for durophagous predatory activities (Alexander and Dietl, 2003;Chattopadhyay and Baumiller, 2010;Klompmaker, 2011). The estimation of repaired shell frequency within an assemblage is a simple means to estimate the interaction between gastropods and their predators (Lindström and Peel, 2010), as it reflects the link between predator effectiveness and the prey's defenses.…”

“…Nevertheless, predation is one of the most difficult interspecific interactions to be estimated in the fossil record (Stuart and Greenstone, 1990), mainly because predators and prey are rarely found together (Molinaro et al, 2013). It is only possible to find direct evidence of predation on prey organisms possessing a biomineralized skeleton (Vermeij, 1987), whereas most predators either leave no trace or destroy the hard parts of their prey (Chattopadhyay and Baumiller, 2010). Predation on organisms protected by a hard skeleton is defined as durophagy (Aronson, 2001).…”
