During the day, the average length of closures was around 1.5 times as long as at night, likely in response to potential threats. The primary stimulus during the daylight hours were researchers conducting husbandry activities via snorkeling in the late morning or early afternoon. When giant clams see an object overhead, they will close their valves for a length of time proportional to the novelty and severity of the threat as indicated by object and shadow size [ 19]. These researcher avoidance events are visible as large, extended closure events in the late mornings and early afternoon ( Fig 2A), contributing to the longer daytime closure average. More investigation is needed into whether these results differ for giant clams in a wild environment, where a greater variety of vertebrate and invertebrate predators are present (including octopi, predatory snails, crustaceans, and fish) relative to the Biosphere 2 Ocean (fireworms and researchers).

Note that both the key light and the second ( fill) light should now both be in front of you, the photographer–and your aim is generally to shoot the model from head-on, with a lens that pokes out from between the two light sources. Of course, you can ask the model to turn their head and strike different poses, but be careful to maintain the same shadow presence that you see from very straight clamshell lighting. Note that clamshell lighting doesn’t create much in the way of shadows, which means that it’s not an especially strong lighting pattern if you’re aiming to create drama. It’s a flattering type of light, but not a moody one.

As I mentioned in an earlier section, clamshell lighting, when done properly results in a double catchlight. Prior studies demonstrated that Tridacna exposed to sediment show increases in valve closure activity as the clams expel adhered particles from their gills [ 43]. The Biosphere 2 ocean clams have multiple species of macroalgae growing between and around them on the shallow floor which frequently dislodge and form floating debris that can be captured by the clams’ gills. Such detritus has been found to be an important food source for juvenile giant clams [ 44], but fecal or stomach sampling of the Biosphere 2 clams will be needed to determine the degree to which they are actually digesting such particles. Nevertheless, chlorophyll-a also displayed a significant relationship with closure activity on a four-day lag (with closure frequency lagging chlorophyll-a; Fig 6A), suggesting the clams were capturing circulating phytoplankton in the Biosphere 2 Ocean water, possibly in the periods of die-off following the repeated bloom events that occurred over the summer. Two of the clams showed more synchronized responses than the third ( Fig 4A), which did not display the same frequency of valve-clapping, suggesting some amount of inter-individual variability in the behavior.
