Wooden-eating clams use their feces to dominate their habitat

Researchers did not know what to make of sunken items of wooden that have been so totally chewed-up by clams that the wooden crumbled of their fingers. It seems, the super-chewer wood-eating clams had a secret weapon for forcing out different species. The clams, who’ve particular diversifications that permit them survive in soiled, low-oxygen water, constructed chimneys out of their very own feces, making the wooden a ‘crappy’ house for any animal besides them.
