Figure 1.
Characterization of fusion and resorption patterns for juvenile chimeras. The left panels depict natural and mechanical fusions of (A) bichimeras, (B) triangular trichimeras, and (C) linear trichimeras, numbering consistent with positional analysis (1 = left, 2 = middle, 3 = right). Connected ampullae depict fusion. Resorptions are shown in the right panels for (D) bichimeras and both (E) single and (F) double resorption of trichimeras. Horizontal lines between juveniles represent fusion. Individuals drawn with solid lines are unresorbed, and those drawn with dotted lines are resorbed.
