We investigate prey size selection by Cancer magister, a decapod crustacean, feeding on Protothaca stamina, a hard-shelled venerid clam, and test predictions of the optimal diet model using three different currencies. We also evaluate the effect of c

Population characteristics of Gnorimosphaeroma insulare (Isopoda: Sphaeromatidae) were investigated in three habitats within the Squamish estuary, British Columbia: a log debris area, an embankment along the perimeter of a Carex lyngbyei marsh, and a

In total, 211 octopuses were tagged and 87 (41·2%) of these were recaptured, some up to eight times for a total of 184 recaptures. Octopuses ranged in wet weight from 1·6 to 20 kg and the sex ratio was skewed towards females. No difference was foun

A habitat suitability index (HSI) model for suspended tray culture of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas Thunberg, was constructed from existing information in the literature on oyster-environment relationships. In the model, biophysical data are

This study examines the foraging of black oyster catchers, Haematopus bachmani Audubon, in relation to a recent model of optimal foraging proposed by Royama in 1970. Diet is determined for three different feeding situations. Values were obtained for

Camponotus pennsylvanicus(De Geer) workers concentrate their foraging efforts in the vicinity of a new food source. Experiments with artificial “trees” confirm that these ants lay chemical trails when they locate food and under other circumstance

Octopus dofleini (Wulker) drills holes in mollusc shells, enabling it to introduce venom. Boreholes in the bivalve Saxidomus giganteus (Deshayes) were generally irregular. Thick shells were more likely to have incomplete boreholes, and the diameter o

All Octopus dofleini martini were removed from a study area in Clayoquot Sound, B.C., during a 6-wk period, and they and their dens were measured. There was an exponential relation between octopus size and the size of den it occupied. In addition, sm

Octopus dofleini (Walker) is a common inhabitant of shallow subtidal communities in the Northeast Pacific. The abundances of octopuses at two sites monitored since 1977 have fluctuated greatly during this period. The populations reached high abundanc

Shells found around the dens of Octopus dofleini were examined for indications of handling methods used by the predators. The octopus attacks gastropod and bivalve prey by drilling, breaking and pulling apart. The size of the prey does not seem to de
