Fig. 1.
(A) Snail fecal pellets at high density (>40 pellets; average densities were found to be 22.75 pellets per 10 cm of radulation; see Results) concentrated on a snail-induced wound on a live Spartina leaf. Note the fungal concentration (dark area) along the radulation edges. A leaf with fecal pellets was collected at night and photographed the next morning. (B) Littoraria on a Spartina leaf grazing a radulation. The majority (>80%) of snail-induced wounds on cordgrass extend through the leaf, as is the case in this picture.
