Figure 1. Showing defensive traits at increasing snail densities (2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 snails) in treatments with no fish (open squares) and in the presence of fish (closed diamonds).
The effects of shell shape in PC 1 (a) and PC 2 (b). The visualized outline shell shape is on the left side. Positive scores in PC 1 have an outline with a narrow aperture and a long apex and negative scores generates an outline with a wider body whorl and a larger shell opening, as well as a lower apex. For PC 2, a widened second whorl and a narrower aperture generate positive scores, while a narrowing of this area and a widening of the aperture generate negative scores. Size corrected shell crushing resistance (c) and the proportion of snails showing predator avoidance behaviour (d). Values are mean and SE.
