Carnivore/non-carnivore ratios in northeastern Pacific marine gastropods
For 2321 species of shelled gastropods of the northeastern Pacific, the ratio of carnivorous to non-carnivorous species (C/NC ratio), computed for each degree of latitude, reveals striking spatial changes, with tropical and arctic areas characterized by high values and with the midlatitudes having the lowest ratios. This latitudinal trend is markedly different from trends for terrestrial clades...

متن کاملPrehistoric Marine Mammal Overki l l in the Northeastern Pacific: A Review of New Evidence
Prehistoric exploitation of marine mammals in the northeastern Pacific has been a subject of considerable attention since 1992 when Hildebrandt and Jones used an optimal foraging model to argue that when congregated in rookeries, seals and sea lions represent highly attractive resources vulnerable to overpredation. Using archaeofaunal data from sites along the Oregon and California coasts they ...
