Estimating size-at-harvest from Indigenous archaeological clamshell assemblages in Coastal British Columbia
Shellfish have supported Indigenous lifeways on the Pacific Coast of North America for millennia. Despite the ubiquity of clamshells in archaeological sites, shell size measurements are rarely reporte...

Predation scars provide a new method to distinguish native and invasive crab predation on mollusc prey
We present a new cost-effective method for identifying species-specific crab predation on mollusc prey. By applying geometric morphometrics to analyse the shape of the damage they leave on their shel...
