NSC division events are spatiotemporally coordinated

(A) MC positions at time point t are compared, using point pattern statistics, with MC positions at other time points after fixed intervals (t+Δt), for each possible Δt (3, 6, 9, and 15 days).

(B) Left: Besag’s L functions comparing MCs with one another for all Δt intervals in Mimi (see also Figures S5A–S5E). L_(obs)(r) (red lines): experimental values; L_(H0,mean)(r) (black dotted lines): means under the random labeling null hypothesis; r: mean NSC cell diameter for each Dm surface: gray regions: 1-sided 95% confidence envelopes. Each fish shows a trend dispersion at Δt4. Right: combined p values for Mimi, Bibi, and Titi (Fisher’s method) (significant at Δt4).

(C and C’) Illustrations for Mimi. (C) Integrated square of the negative deviation between L_(obs)(r) and L_{(H0, mean)}(r) (surface under L_{(H0, mean)}(r)) at Δt4. (C’) Ripley’s g function indicating an effect at the nearest neighbor’s range.
