Lagoon A, 69 anemones (nane), 125 adults screened (nscr); lagoon B, nane = 38, nscr = 73; lagoon C, nane = 29, nscr = 58; lagoon D, nane = 59, nscr = 105; lagoon E, nane = 75, nscr = 145.
All juveniles in the analysis were identified as being the progeny of Kimbe Island adults using DNA parentage analysis. Bold figures on the matrix diagonal indicate the number of juveniles that returned to their natal lagoon.
