Does topography of rocky intertidal habitat affect aggregation of cerithiid gastropods and co-occurring macroinvertebrates? by Soniya Jethva, Kiran Liversage, Rahul Kundu

“…Species aggregation has important implications for population survivorship and ecological functioning in many habitats, including rocky intertidal shores, which have been valuable to research for understanding ecological patterns and process. Intertidal gastropods of the family Cerithiidae often form extensive aggregations for which the driving mechanism may be positive thigmotaxis, i.e. movement occurring until an obstructing surface is contacted, then cessation of movement. …”
