Specifically, we set out to: (1) examine if L. irrorata and M. bidentatus exhibited distinct zonation patterns within southeastern US marshes; (2) evaluate existing size-frequency distributions to gain insights into possible mechanisms influencing salt marsh snail distributions and (3) examine if any relationship existed between the density and biomass of L. irrorata and the density of S. alterniflora … endobj 2020-09-25T09:51:36-07:00 5 0 obj Reproductive strategies are quite diverse within the Littorina genus. 2020-09-25T09:51:36-07:00 Hilary S.
