Figure 4

Survivorship of uaDf5; him-8 and him-8 worms at 20°C. Age synchronized uaDf5; him-8 worms (N = 127) and him-8 worms (N = 181) were grown from egg in groups of 5–10 per plate and were transferred to new plates daily during the fertile period to separate them from their offspring. Worms were considered dead when they showed no movement, pharyngeal pumping or response to touch.
