See text for complete description of the expansion states. The second set of experiments involved the treatment of diurnal morph colonies with the photosynthetic inhibitor DCMU (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-l,l-dimethyl- urea). Colonies used in the DCMU experiments were transferred from the sea tables to a 10 liter aquarium several hours prior to the experiment and were kept in flowing aerated sea water until the start of the experiment at which time water flow was discontinued and DCMU added. One liter of DCMU saturated sea water was added to the aquarium to yield a theoretical concentration of 10"* M. Diffi- culties in dissolving the DCMU suggests a somewhat lower realized concentration (see Vandermuelen, Davis and Muscatine, 1972). Expansion was monitored at 30 min intervals starting 90 min prior to the DCMU addition and continuing for 120 min into the treatment. Light levels during the experiments were the same as those for the daytime darkening experiments. Results Activity cycles of the morphs The observations of daytime expansion for each of the colonies from three of the localities were subjected to a Q-mode cluster analysis using a quantified.
