Diagram of how D. discoideum's growth leads to high relatedness within fruiting bodies in nature.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: D. discoideum fruiting bodies collected from nature are usually clonal or near clonal. Clonal fruiting bodies likely result from limited dispersal leading to a patchy distribution of D. discoideum genotypes, such that cells are likely only to interact with clonemates. Owing to D. discoideum’s small size, millimeter-scale distances between genotypes are likely sufficient to promote high relatedness. Nonetheless, a minority of wild fruiting bodies are chimeric – comprising cells derived from multiple genotypes – and presumably occur where clonal patches of different genotypes intersect.
