摘要:
Abstract.Two species of cerithid prosobranchs,Baiillaria minimaandCerithium lutosum, live on a sand flat in Bermuda. The two species execute complex vertical migrations, but they respond differently to light intensity and to water level. This ensures that in the course of tidal and diurnal cycles their maxima of vertical distribution are sometimes in thesame, sometimes indifferentlayers of sediment. This leads to a partial separation of niches.
