Highest abundances of <i>T. melanocephalum</i> on the sediment surface were found on summer evenings, 2-4 h after high tide, when just a thin film of water was left on the flats. Laboratory Y-maze experiments indicated that gradients of substances produced by <i>C. arenarium</i> in this film of water play a role in tracking the prey. In the field, <i>T. melanocephalum</i> appeared in significantly higher numbers on experimental high density patches of <i>C. arenarium</i>. The amphipod in turn is able to recognize the nemertine. In aquarium experiments, significantly more amphipods escaped from the sediment into the water column when the predator was present. In the field, both predator and prey showed a high mobility by drifting in tidal waters. Benthic abundance maxima of <i>T. melanocephalum</i> and <i>C. arenarium</i> usually did not coincide spatially. It is assumed that the nemertines avoid tidal flats that dry out quickly leaving too little time for prey capture. <i>T. melanocephalum</i> is not able to dig into the sediment, but lives in burrows of <i>Nereis diversicolor</i>. The abundance of this polychaete was inversely related to <i>C. arenarium</i>, presenting a dilemma for <i>T. melanocephalum</i>: the spatial overlap of food and accommodation was rather small.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Preying at the edge of the sea: the nemertine <i>Tetrastemma melanocephalum</i> and its amphipod prey on high intertidal sandflats","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:14.980000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2000,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-02-08","DateCreate":"2002-07-08","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000088580000005","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1023/A:1003955523468"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":25600,"PubliDate":2000,"Pagination":"43-55","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"426","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":42943,"SerRR":"Hydrobiologia.
