Hi coral-listers
I'm currently writing a review about Drupella (coral feeding gastropods =
on Indo-Pacific reefs), focused on geographic distribution, population =
densities, population outbreaks, records of large aggregations, and =
other topics related to impact on coral reefs. =20
In it will be a summary table of density estimates. Below this message =
is a list of the references currently in the table - if you have data, =
published or unpublished (or know of somebody who does) and would like =
to have your work referenced in this review, please contact me. =20
=20
I also hope the reference list may be useful to some people. If you =
would like the updated list (containing additions in response to this =
request) please let me know and I'll forward it along.
I'm also interested in general observations of Drupella, particularly of =
large aggregations of hundreds to thousands, of which records are =
accumulating. See the following references re large aggregations:
Cumming RL (1999) Predation on reef-building corals: multiscale =
variation in the density of three corallivorous gastropods, Drupella =
spp. Coral Reefs 18:147-157. =20
Cumming RL (2000) Do large aggregations of Drupella lead to population =
outbreaks? Reef Encounter 13-15.
Sincerely
Robyn
