    Abstract Environment-induced i.e., phenotypically plastic, changes in morphology, are potentially an important life-history component of sessile corals. Previous reciprocal transplant experiments have demonstrated depth-related responses in various coral species, but the potential adaptive significance is rarely investigated. To test for small-scale morphological plasticity in the massive coral Goniastrea pectinata Ehrenberg 1834, fragments from five colonies were reciprocally transplanted between two depths at Raffles Lighthouse (Pulau Satumu), Singapore. After 163 days, all fragments were collected, cleared of tissue, and examined. Reaction norms and multivariate analysis of variance describe light-induced changes in corallite architecture and genotype × environment interactions. In fragments transplanted to the shallow station, calices were deeper, and septa were shorter than in fragments transplanted to the deep station. To explore the functional significance of this plasticity, a two-dimensional model of corallite shape was constructed. The induced calice morphology of the shallow-water transplants was efficient at shading, possibly to protect tissue from excess radiation, whereas the calice morphology found in the deep-water transplants was more efficient at capturing light when irradiance was low.

    Abstract Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review remains one of the most cited sources in marine science and oceanography. The ever increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues, especially global climate change and its impacts, creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarizing the results of recent research. This volume covers topics that include resting cysts from coastal marine plankton, facilitation cascades in marine ecosystems, and the way that human activities are rapidly altering the sensory landscape and behaviour of marine animals. For more than 50 years, OMBAR has been an essential reference for research workers and students in all fields of marine science. From Volume 57 a new international Editorial Board ensures global relevance, with editors from the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and Singapore. The series volumes find a place in the libraries of not only marine laboratories and institutes, but also universities.

    Abstract The giant clam, Tridacna crocea, is a sessile bivalve that bores into rocks and dead corals found on shallow Indo-Pacific coral reefs. Clams are a valuable prey item and T. crocea have developed at least two effective strategies to avoid predation: borrowing, and simultaneous rapid mantle withdrawal and valve contraction. Tridacna crocea obtain their food via photosynthetic products of symbiotic zooxanthellae and from filter-feeding. When they retract their mantles in response to predators, both photosynthesis and feeding are disrupted. Visible polymorphism and crypsis should reduce the frequency of attack and corresponding mantle retraction. In order to determine whether T. crocea is polymorphic and/or cryptic, samples (n = 573) from Tioman Island, Malaysia, were surveyed and photographed. Classification of images into categories of size and mantle colour/pattern demonstrates that T. crocea is colour/pattern polymorphic and morph frequency is size-dependent. Eight morphs were identified, but there also existed considerable intra-morph variation. Morphs with brown and/or and green pigments dominated the larger clam size category (>8 cm). Furthermore, red/blue/green (RGB) values extracted from a subset (n = 93) of digital images of T. crocea showed significant positive correlations between mantle and substrate colours (blue, r = 0.641; green, r = 0.540; red, r = 0.528), indicating background matching (crypsis).

    Abstract The colour of the characteristic facial bands in the mangrove crabs Perisesarma eumolpe (De Man) and Perisesarma indiarum (Tweedie) were investigated in relation to species, sex and size. Quantitative red/blue/green (RBG) values extracted from close-up digital photographs of 27 P. indiarum and 48 P. eumolpe specimens revealed significant differences between species and sexes. Males of both species possessed facial bands characterized by a greater intensity of blue, whereas green was more pronounced in female facial bands. It is postulated that these colour differences play a role in intra-specific sexual recognition. There existed a significant positive relationship between size and the intensity of blue in the facial bands of females of both species, suggesting these traits function as an indicator of their maturity (and possibly body condition). In large males, facial band colours contrast strongly against the surrounding mudflat and may play an important role in conspecific signalling during territorial disputes or contests over access to females.
