2004 journal article

Origins and circumstances of adaptive divergence in whelk feeding behavior

PALAEOGEOGRAPHY PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY PALAEOECOLOGY, 208(3-4), 279–291.

By: G. Dietl n

author keywords: coexistence; innovation; shell repair; trophic divergence
TL;DR: The temporal distribution of successful and failed whelk predation traces on the shell of Mercenaria suggests two independent origins of chipping behavior within the Busyconinae, which first evolved in the late Miocene Busycotypus species complex, but was likely lost evolutionarily due to the extinction of the whelK lineage responsible for the traces at the end of the Miocene.

2003 journal article

Coevolution of a marine gastropod predator and its dangerous bivalve prey

BIOLOGICAL JOURNAL OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY, 80(3), 409–436.

By: G. Dietl n

author keywords: arms race; busyconine; escalation; Gastropoda; predator-prey interaction; shell repair
TL;DR: The fossil record of the interaction between the predatory whelk Sinistrofulgur and its dangerous hard-shelled bivalve prey Mercenaria in the Plio-Pleistocene of Florida was examined to evaluate the hypothesis that coevolution was a major driving force shaping the species interaction.

2003 journal article

Interaction strength between a predator and dangerous prey: Sinistrofulgur predation on Mercenaria

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY, 289(2), 287–301.

By: G. Dietl n

author keywords: breakage-induced shell repair; Busycon; coevolutionary arms races; dangerous prey; escalation; Melongenidae
TL;DR: It is suggested that natural selection should favor predator phenotypes that reduce feeding-induced breakage when interactions with damage-inducing prey occur, and not those that select large, thick bivalve prey. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

Escalation and extinction selectivity: Morphology versus isotopic reconstruction of bivalve metabolism

Evolution, 56(2), 284–291.

By: G. Dietl*, P. Kelley, R. Barrick n & W. Showers n

MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Fossils; Geologic Sediments; Maryland; Mollusca / anatomy & histology; Mollusca / classification; Mollusca / growth & development; Mollusca / metabolism; Oxygen Consumption; Species Specificity
TL;DR: It is predicted that some morphologically non‐escalated species in previous tests of extinction selectivity should be reclassified as escalated because of their fast shell growth rates, which are positively correlated with metabolic rate and thus are potential indicators of level of escalation.
