Abstract
Statistical analysis of shelil. length, width, and depth shows that in subtidal populations of Terebratella sanguinea shape differs between three geographic arelas and two habits (freelying and attached), but size differs only with habit. Simil1ar studies on subtida:l populations of T. inconspicua 1;how significant Shape and Size variation influenced by local environmental conditions, rather than geographic location or habit.Keywords
