Abstract

The growing field of eco-evolutionary dynamics has highlighted the importance of reciprocal feedbacks between evolutionary and ecological processes. We tested whether selection could act on existing within-population variation in a predatory trait in the marine dogwhelk, Nucella canaliculata. We reared newly hatched dogwhelks on four prey treatments (thin-shelled Mytilus trossulus, two treatments of M. californianus from two populations known to differ in adult shell thickness, and acorn barnacl...

Adult dogwhelks were scored for their ability to drill mid-sized (5 to 7 centimeters long) Mytilus californianus mussels during a 100-day laboratory experiment. 12 adult dogwhelks from 18 Bodega Marine Reserve families (dogwhelks that hatched from the same egg capsule cluster were considered a 'family' of snails) and from 4 Soberanes Point families were scored. Dogwhelks were held in individual containers with flowing seawater. Checks were performed routinely every 3 weeks to assess dogwhelk drilling. If a mussel was drilled, it was recorded and replaced with another mussel. Two metrics for dogwhelk drilling were quantified – a binary trait if a dogwhelk was able to drill at least one mussel during the course of the experiment, and the total number of mussels drilled per snail. The experiment was performed in two rounds due to space limitations.
