Ecología trófica de los ostreros Haematopus palliatus pitanay (Murphy 1925) y Haematopus ater (Vieillot et Oudart 1825) en mantos del tunicado Pyura praeputialis (Heller 1878) en l... by CRISTIAN J. PACHECO, JUAN C. CASTILLA

“…We compare ecological aspects between the two oystercatchers species in Antofagasta, such as: (a) abundance of oystercatchers and other coastal birds preying on P. praeputialis, (b) the spatial distribution of the oystercatchers in the Pyura bed during foraging periods, (c) Pyura size preferences of oystercatchers, (d) handling time, (e) consumption rate and (f) preference of other invertebrates prey items distinct from Pyura. The results show that H. palliatus pitanay attacks more frequently Pyura than H. ater, and that H. ater attacks more frequently "hard" preys such as: limpets, snails, mussels and sea urchins.…”
