Increased brood size was correlated with delayed somatic aging in mated hermaphrodites. Scatter plots comparing brood size with reproductive and somatic aging in mated (closed circle) and self-fertile (open circle) WT hermaphrodites. Each data point represents the brood size and (A) reproductive span, (B) body movement span, (C) pharyngeal pumping span, and (D) life span for an individual animal. Pearson correlation coefficients are denoted by r values. *P < 0.05. Number of animals: WT self-fertile = 67, WT mated = 64.
