Significantly different means arc indicated by different lowercase letters. Colonies are not drawn to scale. ND = no data. Production j immature gonozooids The number of immature gonozooids differed remarkably as a function ot intercolony spacing for four out of five experimental colonies. Whereas 4-mm colonies invested very little or no energy into immature gonozooids (Fig. 4). 12-mm colonies exhibited immature gono/ooid investment that was similar to control colonies initially (up to 30 d>. and then in some cases greater than controls for the remainder of the experiment (see analysis below). After 90 d. differences in immature gonozooid produc- tion between 4-mm and 12-mm treatments were highly significant for all colonies except colony I (Table 3. Fig. 4). All 4-mm competitive treatments exhibited immature gono- /ooid production similar to or less than controls (Table 1, Fig. 4). In contrast. 12-mm competitive treatments exhibited immature gonozooid production similar to or greater than controls (Table I. Fig. 4). All instances of augmented production of immature.
