Feeding deterrency in Antarctic marine organisms: : bioassays with the omnivore amphipodCheirimedon femoratus

ABSTRACT: The main predators of Antarctic benthic organisms are vagile invertebrates, including dense amphipod populations. Marked seasonalities of food availability drive consumers to develop opportunistic behaviors, which favors the evolution of defensive chemistry in potential prey. We used the c...
