How Evolving Heterogeneity Distributions of Resource Allocation Strategies Shape Mortality Patterns
Figure 10
Survival curves after a heat-shock with heterogeneity in aging rates (HRM) and heterogeneity in aging timing (HTM), on the right column.
The two curves reproduce the main features of survival curves corresponding to heat-shock experiments in C. elegans (filled diamonds, adapted from [24]). Both the experimental data and the simulated curves exhibit a two stage decrease: a first quick, strong fall followed by a slowing down. (, 500 individuals per simulation, 500 simulations per curve).
