This talk will address the subcellular metal-handling strategies of a prey species which have direct consequences at the individual level: tolerance (survival) vs toxicity (death). These strategies also have consequences at the population level: presence vs absence from the community or high vs low abundance. Community composition of marine benthic communities (driven by species/population-specific metal-handling strategies), therefore has the potential to impact ecosystems from the context of controlling metal trophic transfer from prey to predator, though the predator-dependent processes, like digestive strategies, may also play a role.
