Information regarding the individual specimen ID, including the genotype (1 = un-fused, 2 = bichimera, 3 = trichimera); the age (days from hatch) of the specimen when isolated; which and how many of the individuals within a chimera were resorbed (NA = not applicable for the individuals, L = left, R = right [bichimeras], 1 = left, 2 = middle, 3 = right [trichimeras]); and the AFLP fingerprints for the somatic and gametic tissue samples (A = genotype 1, B = genotype 2, C = genotype 3 for each respective colony; A/B = chimeric mix of genotypes A and B, NA = data not available). Each genotype letter represents an individual somatic and gametic sample, and the order of the letters reflects the relative position in the colony. Somatic samples are noted as containing intestines collected from multiple systems (^), as multiple samples taken from the same system (sample pairs from same system marked correspondingly as *,* or **,**), or as containing intestines from only one system (no mark).
