“…Gastropods of the genus Agaronia in the family Olividae are common on sandy beaches throughout Pacific Central America ( López, Montoya & López, 1988 ; see the taxonomic note below), where they regularly prey on another common olivid, the filter-feeding Olivella semistriata (Gray 1839) ( Cyrus et al, 2012 ). Agaronia is closely related to the more thoroughly studied genus Oliva.…”

“…Unlike Oliva spp., which are predominantly active at night, A. propatula forages on the intertidal plains of sandy beaches during intermediate and low tide at daylight. Thus, A. propatula are more readily observed in the wild (videos showing A. propatula capturing prey are available as supplementary materials with Rupert & Peters, 2011 , and Cyrus et al, 2012 ). The gastropod also shows a range of interesting adaptations.…”

“…; Cyrus et al . ). Most shells are either smooth (often enveloped by the foot or mantle) or sculptured with low, often terraced spiral elements, with shallow terraced sutures and streamlined profiles (Vermeij ) (Fig.…”

“…As a group, the test beaches represented ecological gradients regarding their exposure to wave energy, and with respect to the type and extent of human activities (Table 1). Finally, the test beaches varied significantly with regard to predation pressure on O. semistriata, with estimated minimum densities of its main predator Agaronia propatula (López et al 1988, Rupert & Peters 2011, Cyrus et al 2012) between 0 and >20 individuals per 100 m beach length. (Table 1).…”
