Survivorship, metabolic rate, and metabolic output of wild-type worms grown at 10–25°C. (a) Survivorship of wild-type worms at 10–25°C. Each bar is the mean (± SEM) of ≈100 worms. (b) Metabolic rate of wild-type worms at different temperatures. Metabolic rates were compared between worms of comparable developmental age (young, egg-laying adults). (c) Lifetime metabolic output of wild-type worms at different growth temperatures. Bars represent the means (± SEM) of four measurement values per temperature.
