Salmon Point (Table I). In contrast there was no such clumping of electrophoretically identical adults at Strickland Bay. In fact, a greater proportion of anemones had elec- trophoretically different neighbors within a 2-cm radius as compared with a 2- to 4- cm radius (Table I), although this difference was not statistically significant. There was some evidence of fine-scale genotypic clumping of transplanted adults and re- cruits at Strickland Bay, however these data provided only a weak test for such clump- ing as only 10 recruits were found within 4-cm of transplanted adults (Table I). Gross-scale genotypic clumping Each of the 27 transplant strips was found to support anemones with at least 3, and typically 5 or more, 5-locus genotypes. Genotypes were intermingled on the shore, and many juveniles were detected outside the limits of adult distributions (Fig. 1). Nevertheless, for transplanted adults, a significant majority of genotypes were judged to be clumped within the Green Island and Salmon Point strips (Table II), although these results were not statistically significant for either individual popula- tion. In contrast only half of the 45 groups of genotypically identical adults on the smooth shore at Strickland Bay were judged to be clumped, the proportion expected. Please note that these i
