| L0 | L1 | |
| L1 and fed | L2 | |
| L1 and starved | L1arrested | |
| L1arrested and starved | L1arrested | The number of days in the starved state is counted. If it reaches the limit that is set in L1s_s parameter (it was 6 for all simulations), the individual dies |
| L2 and fed | Adult | |
| L2 and starved | Dauer | |
| Dauer and fed | Adult | |
| Dauer and starved | Dauer | The number of days in the starved state is counted. If it reaches the limit that is set in L2s_s parameter (it was 30 for all simulations), the individual dies |
| Adult and fed or starved | Adult | For adults age is counted and it grows by one with every timepoint. Age determines mortality rate, fecundity (and in some simulations food consumption rate) |
