Using platyceratid gastropod behavior to test functional morphology
Article Abstract:
The platyceratid distribution is analyzed among 636 tubed and 675 tubeless crinoids from Mississippian strata in North America to test the infestation avoidance role of the anal tubes in North America. The results show that tubeless crinoids exhibit a very high infestation frequency and hence are supposed to be a more cost effective and cheap strategy than the drilling tubed crinoids.
