Biotic interactions revealed by macroborings in arctic bivalve molluscs
Abstract
The presence of organisms whose bodies have low preservation potential may be deduced by searching for the traces produced by them. The addition of predatory gastropods and soft‐bodied epizoans to Quaternary marine faunas dominated by bivalves was facilitated by an examination of borings in bivalve shells. Borings attributed to predatory gastropods (ichnogenus Oichnus) were observed in shells of Astarte spp., Hiatella arctica and Macoma …
