Experimental tests of bivalve shell shape reveal potential tradeoffs between mechanical and behavioral defenses
Bivalves protect themselves from predators using both mechanical and behavioral defenses. While their shells serve as mechanical armor, bivalve shells also enable evasive behaviors such as swimming and burrowing. Therefore, bivalve shell shape is a critical determinant of how successfully an organis...
