Table 3. Summary statistics of WT hermaphrodites mated to mutant males.
| Brood | RS | MS | PS | LS | Na | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Self-fertile | 330 ± 40 | 4.6 ± 0.9 | 7.7 ± 2.2 | 11.6 ± 3.8 | 17.1 ± 5.8 | 67 |
| lov-1b | 340 ± 30 | 3.6 ± 0.5* | 6.0 ± 1.1* | 12.2 ± 4.4 | 17.2 ± 7.0 | 13 |
| fer-6b | 320 ± 30 | 3.2 ± 0.4* | 6.7 ± 2.5 | 12.4 ± 3.6 | 17.8 ± 6.5 | 15 |
Values represent the mean ± SD. Brood size is measured in number of progeny. Spans are measured in days. The self-fertile data are the same as in Table 1. WT, wild type; brood, total number of live progeny; RS, reproductive span; MS, body movement span; PS, pharyngeal pumping span; LS, life span; ANOVA, analysis of variance.
a
Number of animals analyzed.
b
WT hermaphrodites were self-fertile or mated to lov-1(sy582) or fer-6(hc6) males.
*
P < 0.05 compared with self-fertile hermaphrodites by ANOVA.
