TLDR
Intraspecific competition for food within and between age-classes of the intertidal grazing gastropod Nerita atramentosa Reeve was investigated using experimental cages on a rock platform in Botany Bay, New South Wales, finding population density regulation in Nerita is possible.About:

Larval ecology of marine benthic invertebrates: paleobiological implications
David Jablonski,Richard A. Lutz +1 more
TL;DR: Studies of the larval ecology of fossil organisms can contribute greatly to the understanding of such roles by allowing us to race effects on evolutionary time scales.
Book ChapterDOI
The Ecology of Intertidal Gastropods
TL;DR: The chapter dwells on the competition and predation due to the distribution and abundance of population of intertidal gastropods, its reproductive biology, and the geographical distribution and influences of gastropod on the structure of interTidal communities.

Predation, Competitive Exclusion, and Diversity in the Soft-Sediment Benthic Communities of Estuaries and Lagoons
TL;DR: A review of experiments in which large, epibenthic predators are excluded from soft-sediment marine benthic communities in unvegetated portions of estuaries and lagoons and a comparison of grassbeds, where predators on the infauna are less effective, demonstrate that such soft- sediment systems, when freed from predation, usually exhibit an increase in total density, a increase in species richness, and no tendency toward competitive exclusion by some dominant species as mentioned in this paper.

Parasitism, community structure and biodiversity in intertidal ecosystems.
Kim N. Mouritsen,Robert Poulin +1 more
TL;DR: A large amount of published information on parasitism in intertidal communities is brought together to highlight the potential influence of parasites on the structure and biodiversity of these communities, and suggests that parasites must be included in future community studies and food web models of intert tidal ecosystems.

Experimental analyses of the structure and dynamics of mid-shore rocky intertidal communities in New South Wales.
TL;DR: The present experiments revealed that the interactions among even a few species are very varied and complex; proper investigation requires considerable replication and repeated experimentation in different places and years.

Community Interactions on Marine Rocky Intertidal Shores
TL;DR: In the marine rocky intertidal, the authors of as mentioned in this paper proposed a method to measure the dynamic relations between organisms and their physical and biological environment using direct measurement of dynamic relations.

Dynamics of High and Low Populations of the Limpet, Acmaea scabra (Gould)
TL;DR: The dynamics of naturally occurring high (zone 1) and low (zone 2) populations of the limpet, Acmaea scabra, were investigated on Bodega Head in Sonoma County, California.

Competition for Food Between the Intertidal Gastropods Acmaea Scabra and Acmaea Digitalis
TL;DR: In the habitat studied, limpet grazing strongly limited algal crop most of the year, and interspecific competition for food limited growth rates and maximum size in A. scraba was concluded.
