Fig 5. Pervasive sperm damage contributes to low recovery after severe heat stress.

Fig 5

24-hour stress experiments were conducted at 29°C (A, C) or 31°C (B, D). Fractions of pre-reproductive young adults recovering live progeny in the presence of 3 unstressed males are shown in (A) and (B). For comparison, horizontal black lines crossing the bars show the recovery fractions reported in Fig 4B and 4D for hermaphrodites recovering alone. Brood sizes of hermaphrodites recovering alone after stress are shown in (C) and (D). Error bars represent ±1 SEM. See S5 Fig for individual trials and S3 Table for raw data.
