The influence of chemical cues and conspecific density on the temperature selection of a freshwater snail ( Melanoides tuberculata)

1. The effects of predation risk (via chemical cues) and conspecific density on temperature selection of the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata were assessed within a circular thermal gradient. 2. Chemical cues from crushed conspecifics elicited the strongest avoidance response of snails in iso...
