The aim of this investigation is to determine if this difference in shell colour will have a significant effect on the distribution of the flat periwinkle on the sheltered shore of Angle point. The distribution and abundance of the flat periwinkle will ultimately be determined by the interactions that the organism experiences between its environment and other organisms. Thus, if changes in shell colour result in the interactions that the flat periwinkle experiences between its biotic and abiotic environment changing, or if...
