Protoconch size variation along depth gradients in a planktotrophic Epitonium
The Nautilus (Philadelphia), v 107(4), pp 107-112
16 Mar 1994
Featured in Collection : UN Sustainable Development Goals @ Drexel
Abstract
The protoconch length of Epitonium echinaticosta ranges from 330 to 790 mum in the northern Bahamas. The length increases along depth gradients from near 0 m to 40-52 m. Intermediates are from intermediate depths. One planktotrophic species is involved. A possible explanation is given. Systematists should be aware that the phenomenon may occur in other planktotrophic epitoniids or other marine prosobranchs.
