Figure 1From: Life cycle and population growth rate of Caenorhabditis elegans studied by a new methodHermaphrodite survivorship curves of C. elegans strains MY6 and N2. Lines represent fraction surviving at the given interval after egg deposition (age x = 0). Note that mortality among juveniles and young adults was virtually zero. Population sizes were n = 72 (MY6) and n = 69 (N2) until age 5.7 d and n = 36 (MY6 and N2) thereafter.Back to article page
