摘要

Zoanthids of the order Zoantharia (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) exhibit high intraspecific morphological variability, but whether this is due to polymorphism, phenotypic plasticity or a combination of both remains unknown. To address this knowledge gap, in November 2010, eight colonies each of Zoanthus sansibaricus and Palythoa tuberculosa were sampled from three reefs off the south of mainland Singapore and transplanted to a shallow experimental site. The colonies were then distributed under two types of treatment frames: control and shaded. After 87 days, morpho-metric characters were extracted from macro-images. Reaction norms, principal components analysis, analysis of variance and canonical discriminant analysis all demonstrated light-induced changes in morphology. Patterns of plastic changes were similar for both species: shaded colonies had larger polyps as compared to control colonies. The presence of plastic responses in zoanthids may facilitate their colonization of a broad range of habitats as well as help them to withstand temporal changes in their environment.
