人类面临的最重要的生态问题之一是预测大规模打破先前分离的海洋或陆地生物群之间的障碍的影响。虽然关于这个主题的观点众多且相互矛盾,但可用的数据很少,预测理论也很少发展(参见 Elton,1958;Remington,1967;Rubinoff,1968;Topp,1969;Por,1971;Vuilleumier,1971;Fooden,1972)。在本文中,我以一种假设的方式研究了拟议的横跨中美洲地峡的海平面运河的可能后果(Rubinoff,1968;Topp,1969),鉴于浅水海洋软体动物组合之间的贝壳结构差异,我认为这反映了抵御捕食能力的差异。
One of the most important ecological problems facing mankind is predicting the effects of breaking down barriers on a large scale between previously separated marine or terrestrial biotas. While opinions on this subject are numerous and conflicting, few data are available and little predictive theory has been developed (see Elton, 1958; Remington, 1967; Rubinoff, 1968; Topp, 1969; Por, 1971; Vuilleumier, 1971; Fooden, 1972). In this paper I examine in a hypothetical way the possible consequences of a proposed sea-level canal across the Isthmus of Central America (Rubinoff, 1968; Topp, 1969) in the light of differences in shell architecture among shallowwater marine molluscan assemblages which I believe to reflect differences in the ability to withstand predation.
