A species which is very abundant or present at high densities or relatively high densities. +
Double cone (Olenina ''et al.'', 2006) +
Organisms that live vertically in the sediment, typically heads-up at the surface, and that ingest particles at the surface and egest them as faeces at depth in the sediment (adapted from Kristensen ''et al.'', 2012). +

Traits relating to how a species interacts with it's surrounding environment and other associated species. +
