To examine the intensity of anti-predatory behavior of both Tegula funebralis and Nucella lamellosa, we measured the proportion of time individual snails spend above the waterline in the presence and absence of their predator species, Pisaster ochraceus and Cancer productus. Data from this experiment are used to calculate estimated predation rates for snails that do not behaviorally respond to their predators, which are used to determine the impact anti-predatory responses have on the strength o...
