Morphological and ecological comparisons among Tridacninae (Tridacna squamosa) and Fraginae (Fragum fragum, Corculum cardissa) species. a. Lateral shell views of the three species and diagrams showing their typical positions in natural habitats. Yellow rectangles represent sediment. Note that F. fragum and C. cardissa both show different degrees of posterior shell compression. b–d. Photos of the three species in their natural habitat. F. fragum (c) was taken out of the sediment when photo was taken. Photo credits: Jingchun Li and Jeff Whitlock (the Online Zoo). Images were processed in Affinity Designer 1.8.4 (Serif Ltd.)
