+ | Matassa et al. (2018) found that the competition among barnacles was dependent on the predation risk upon snails, suggesting a coupling between behaviours across trophic levels. The authors also assessed the competition among snails and verified that its intensity was dependent on NCE's from top predators, but not from prey availability. Additionally, | ||

Does the model provide insights on this strategy? | * By changing their behaviour, the snails favour a decrease in their mortality in face of an increased food intake.
