Substrate-controlled naticid gastropod drilling predation on recent barnacles from Chandipur, India and its Palaeontological implications
TLDR
In this paper, the authors reported drilling predation on acorn barnacles by gastropods from Chandipur, eastern India, and found that the aspects of predation have been largely limited to molluscs.Abstract:
The study of drilling predation has been largely limited to molluscs. Herein, we report drilling predation on Recent acorn barnacles by gastropods from Chandipur, eastern India. The aspects of pred...read more

Paleoecology of naticid–molluscan prey interaction during the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian) in Kutch, India: evolutionary implications
TL;DR: It is suggested that both turritellines and naticid evolved during the Jurassic, and the prey–predator interaction between them was established shortly thereafter, and among bivalves, corbulids also became important prey of naticids in the same spatiotemporal framework.

Inferring octopodoid and gastropod behavior from their Plio-Pleistocene cowrie prey (Gastropoda: Cypraeidae)
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis showed that octopodoids produce significantly more drill holes per drilled molluscan shell than do gastropod drillers, and that most of the drill holes are found in the ventral left-posterior and ventral-left-middle shell regions.

Diversity of Indian Barnacles in Marine Provinces and Ecoregions of the Indian Ocean
TL;DR: The first completed and taxonomically validated literature review on the biodiversity of barnacles (Cirripedia) in India is presented in this paper, where a total of 155 species belonging to 75 genera, 19 families were recorded in India.

Barnacle encrustation on molluscan prey offers associational resistance against drilling predation
TL;DR: The results show that the prey with epibionts are significantly less likely to be drilled when the predator has sufficient choice of prey, consistent with the tenets of the associational resistance.

Predation on Recent and Fossil Echinoids
TL;DR: Many important fossil groups of prey have been underrepresented in studies of predator-prey interactions.

Can Naticid Gastropod Predators Be Identified by the Holes They Drill
TL;DR: At least in the case of these two naticid species, interspecific differences in variation of the inner and outer diameters of the holes they drill have limited utility in identifying the maker of individual boring traces in the fossil record.

The diet of the dog-whelk, Nucella lapillus (Gastropoda Prosobranchia)
TL;DR: It has been determined that the size of the prey influences the selective predation of Mytilus by Nucella, and that cannibalism may be a frequent occurrence amongst all age groups.

Role of bioerosion in taphonomy: effect of predatory drillholes on preservation of mollusc shells
TL;DR: This project tested the hypothesis that taphonomic processes preferentially destroyed shells with predatory borings for the Miocene Choptank Formation of Maryland and the Plio-Pleistocene Caloosahatchee Formation of Florida to see if bias against drilled shells occurred.

Influence of alternative shell‐drilling behaviours on attack duration of the predatory snail, Chicoreus dilectus
TL;DR: It is suggested that owing to the shorter length of time required to kill prey, the edge-drilling behaviour may be selectively advantageous in environments where enemies are abundant, especially competitors that might attempt to steal prey.
