Spatial distribution of conspecific genotypes within chimeras of the branching coral Stylophora pistillata

Abstract Chimerism is a coalescence of conspecific genotypes. Although common in nature, fundamental knowledge, such as the spatial distribution of the genotypes within chimeras, is lacking. Hence, we investigated the spatial distribution of conspecific genotypes within the brooding coral Stylophora...
