Summary Introduction

To review:

Testing of hypothesis about the distribution of shell color in land snails is due to predation.

Introduction:

Predation is the interaction between the organism where a predator kills and eats the prey. This feeding behavior includes parasitoidism, micropredation, and parasitism. It is different from scavenging, as in scavenging the organism feeds on dead and decaying body of another organism.
