Ecology of Leukoma staminea

Main Ref.	Bradbury, A., B. Blake, C. Speck, D. Rogers, 2005
Remarks	Buries in gravel, sand and mud to more than 10 cm deep along the mid-intertidal zone (Ref. 95344). Preyed upon by naticid gastropods (Ref. 100855). Suspension-feeder (Ref. 78182). In general, suspension feeding bivalves mainly depend on phytoplankton and detritus material for nutrition (Ref. 107088).
