Effect of burying inhibition on Crangon crangon colour change. Box-and-whisker plots show the change in dark pigment cover within one hour of shrimp transferred to the opposite coloured background. (A) Shrimp were tested after acclimation on a black background and after being kept for one hour on a white background (N = 25). (B) Shrimp were tested after acclimation on a white background and after being kept for one hour on a black background (N = 22). The dashed line represents the level of no change. *P < 0.05. Change in pigment cover was calculated from PiC values shown in Figure S3.
