Figure 4. Worm Size Affects Treatment Times for Fine, But Not Gross, Movements.

Figure 4

(A–B) Treatment Time Needed to Stop Movement vs. Worm Length. (A) Gross movements are not affected by exposure time, as worms of all lengths are inhibited within 1 hour. 4–6 mm worms (n = 22), 7–10 mm (n = 10), 11–13 mm (n = 37). (B) Fine movement inhibition is linked to exposure time, as longer worms require longer treatments before movement is inhibited. 4–6 mm worms (n = 10), 7–10 mm (n = 10), 11–13 mm (n = 12). (C) Recovery time vs. Worm Length. The majority of worms regain all movements by 3–4 hours after being washed out of EtOH, showing that recovery time is also not affected by worm size. 4–6 mm worms (n = 89), 7–10 mm (n = 114), 11–13 mm (n = 42). Error bars reflect 95% Confidence Intervals.
