Variable Temperature Stress in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (Maupas) and Its Implications for Sensitivity to an Additional Chemical Stressor
Fig 2
Temperature effect on five different endpoints: final brood size (A), Final body length (B), time to first egg (C), lifespan (D) and Population Growth Rate (PGR) (E).
All data are given as a function of the mean temperature of the treatment. Data are given as mean ± s.e.m., apart from PGR which is given with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) obtained by bootstrapping. Significantly different treatments (ANOVA followed by a Tukey post hoc test) are denoted by different letters. Constant temperature treatments are given in black symbols, treatments varying ± 4°C are given in grey symbols and treatments varying ± 8°C are given in open symbols.
