Table 1.

Brood sizes of P. pacificus (RS5205) hermaphrodites that were starved or prey-fed as adults. (On day 0, virgin J4 (pre-adult) hermaphrodites were introduced to the experimental feeding regime (figure 2). On day 2, hermaphrodites were removed from experimental feeding regimen to wells for starvation. Offspring were counted throughout reproductive lifetime of hermaphrodites. Values are given in the form: median (lower quartile-upper quartile).)
