Prince Points the Way toa Brighter Future for Music

Large-headed beetles can readily crush snail shells with their powerful jaws, but cannot insert their oversized heads into the shells. Small-headed beetles can insert their heads into the shells for direct predation on snail bodies, but poorly crush the shells because of their small jaws. The same trade-off shapes the snails. Elongate shells protect against entry attacks and rounded shells protect against crushing attacks. The Alliance for Climate Protection
