我们的实验表明，基层可以决定一个单独的髌腹足的颜色和形态。Lottia asmi（Middendorff），以前被认为是一个高圆顶的，黑色的stenotopic物种的轮腹足类，是类似于其他东北太平洋帽贝物种低姿态和棋盘形的颜色模式，当它被易位到岩石基底。Lottia digitalis（Rathke）是一种高度可变的物种，至少有两种生态变体，被认为是遗传决定的，当从有柄藤壶转移到岩石时，在这两种形式之间发生变化。颜色的变化，因为摄入的色素（藻类，角质膜等）以及其它材料（例如，碳酸钙）在基质之间变化;形态变化是对地形复杂性和基质限制的反应。多型帽贝物种的生态变种的地理分布，以及实现隐蔽着色的能力，可能由帽贝赖以为生的藻类的地理分布决定，而不是由帽贝的内在特征决定。
We experimentally show that substratum can determine an individual patellogastropod''s color and morphology. Lottia asmi (Middendorff), previously considered a high-domed, black stenotopic species on trochid gastropods, is similar to other northeastern Pacific limpet species with low profile and tessellated color patterns, when it is translocated to rock substrata. Lottia digitalis (Rathke), a highly variable species with at least two ecological variants that have been considered to be genetically determined, changes between these two forms when translocated from stalked barnacles to rocks. Color changes because the ingested pigments (algal, periostracal, etc.) and other materials (e.g., calcium carbonate) vary between substrata; morphological changes occur as responses to the topographical complexity and constraints of substrata. The geographical distribution of ecological variants of polytypic limpet species, and the ability to achieve cryptic coloration, may be determined by the geographic distributions of algae on which the limpets feed rather than by intrinsic characterisitics of the limpets.
