Infaunal molluscs were not considered in this study.
Furthermore, sea stars preferred smaller prey when feeding on
infaunal bivalves but preferred larger epifaunal prey when feeding on urchins and sand dollars (Gaymer et al., 2004).
Both scenarios are unlikely due to a low dispersal rate expected for a minute benthic or
infaunal organism and the problems faced in crossing a wide, deep oceanic basin as well as surviving the end-Ordovician cooling in a high-latitude climatic zone.
A taxonomic listing of benthic macro- and megainvertebrates from
infaunal and epifaunal monitoring and research programs in the Southern California Bight.
The effects of beam-trawl disturbance on
infaunal communities in different habitats.
Similarly, the moon snail (Neverita duplicate Say 1822) is an abundant generalist that inhabits shallow intertidal to subtidal habitats and feeds primarily on
infaunal bivalves.
Assessments of benthic diversity based on years of intensive sampling have also provided species inventories for
infaunal and epilithic fauna (Dunton and Schonberg, 2000) and for benthic algae (Wilce and Dunton, 2014).
Clam digging is a North American term for a common way to harvest clams (edible
infaunal bivalve mollusks) from below the surface of the tidal sand flats or mud flats where they live.
Trol ve algarna gibi dipte suruklenerek cekilen av araclari bentik ekosistem uzerinde yarattiklari fiziksel etki sebebiyle,
infaunal ve epifaunal canli komunitelerin azalmasina veya tumuyle olumune sebep olmaktadirlar.
childreni could also be categorized as mud ingesters [19] and
infaunal predators because they swallowed bulk sediment which usually comprised meio- and macrofauna [20].
