Polychaetes and burrowing crabs are widely distributed in intertidal soft bottom environments, playing an important role in structuring infaunal assemblages through trophic and non-trophic interactions such as bioturbation. In southwestern Atlantic (SWA; 37°40′S, 57°23′W) intertidal mudflats, the polychaetes Laeonereis acuta and Neanthes succinea coexist with the burrowing crab Neohelice (Chasmagnathus) granulata. N. granulata and L. acuta strongly modify the sediment characteristics at different spatial scales, changing the infaunal assemblages and probably affecting feeding mode of N. succinea, which could prey upon L. acuta. Here, we experimentally evaluated the effects of constant densities of L. acuta and N. succinea on the benthic spe...
