Fig. 3. Action spectra of tentacle contraction in Favia favus and
Plerogyra sinuosa (filled circles). Values are means ±
S.D., N=5. (A) Comparison of the action spectrum of F.
favus tentacle contraction to the light spectrum absorbed by the
zooxanthellae at an irradiance level of 30 µmol quanta m-2
s-1 (open squares) (Pearson's correlation, r=-0.7557,
P<0.0007). (B) Comparison of the action spectrum of F.
favus tentacle contraction to the light spectrum absorbed by the
zooxanthellae at an irradiance level of 10 µmol quanta m-2
s-1 (open squares) (Pearson's correlation, r=-0.8543,
P<0.0001). (C) Comparison of the action spectrum (in
vitro) of P. sinuosa tentacle contraction to the light spectrum
absorbed by the zooxanthellae at an irradiance level of 30 µmol quanta
m-2 s-1 (open squares) (Pearson's correlation
r=-0.8667, P<0.0001, N=3).
