| Note(s): |
Most studies on effects of predation on benthic communities in soft sediments have relied either on correlation and pattern analysis or, more recently, on the use of mesh cages to exclude potential or suspected predators from areas of the bottom. Because such cages usually produce other physical effects besides excluding predators, results from such studies are often difficult to interpret. I propose that a combination of techniques is mandatory. The approaches can be broadly classified as either non-manipulative or manipulative.
