From: Experimental insight into the proximate causes of male persistence variation among two strains of the androdioecious Caenorhabditis elegans (Nematoda)

Figure 1

Persistence of males over time in different C. elegans strains and population sizes. The proportion of males after the indicated number of days is given. Every four days the populations were reduced to the number specified. Error bars are standard errors. All experiments were started with populations containing approximately 50% males. The first actual measurement was done after the first generation at day 4. A) Decrease of the male frequencies in different wild isolates at population size 75. Each point is the average of two independent measurements. B) Decrease of the male frequencies in different wild isolates at population size 150. Each point is the average of two independent measurements. C) Decrease of the male frequencies in four different population sizes in N2 and CB 4856. Each point is the average of five independent measurements. For more details on results and statistical analysis [see additional files 1, 2, 3, 4].
