    Integr Comp Biol 50:675-82. 2010
    ..The pre-eminence of terrestrial, as compared to marine, diversity is therefore an historical phenomenon that is best explained by selection-related changes in mobility, dispersibility, and the evolution of partnerships...

    Center for Marine Science, University of North Carolina, Wilmington, NC 28409, USA
    Science 306:2229-31. 2004
    ..Experiments with living animals suggest that intense competition induces muricid snails to attack shell edges. Pliocene predators, therefore, probably competed for resources more intensely than their post-extinction counterparts...
