Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of a circular coverslip showing the sampling of differentially fed and control colonies. The transect (dotted line bisecting the overslip) determines three 30mm² areas (the central area and peripheral areas 1 and 2) in which the development of the colony was quantified as described in the text. In differentially fed colonies, peripheral area 1 contains the area that was fed.
