Fig. 3

C. inopinata has a reproductive duration comparable to C. elegans. (a) Number of embryos laid per day. (b) Fraction of lifetime brood laid per day. Bold lines represent averages, and dotted bold lines represent ±1 SDM. Thin lines represent individual worms. The C. elegans (fog-2) and C. inopinata day two and three brood fractions are not statistically different (Wilcoxon rank sum test W=389 p=0.36 and W=553 p=0.13, respectively). N parental females=30 for both species. All observations taken at 25°C.
