Nematode’s age at time of test performance and exposure initiation. The age of the nematodes at the day of test performance (or test initiation, respectively, for survival-based tests), were summarized for assays analyzing stress resistance (including heat, oxidative, pathogenic, UV, and osmotic stress resistance), locomotion (on solid and in liquid media), pharyngeal pumping, ROS level, translocation of DAF-16, and HSPs/SODs/GSTs (including the activity, quantity or expression of these genes c.q. proteins). The percentage distribution was calculated according to the total number of age groups investigated per phenotype (a). In addition, the most popular exposure periods to treat the nematodes with the test compounds were determined. The graph represents the distribution of exposure scenarios used in the collected studies in the database (b). A1-A10 = 1st–10th day of adulthood; L1-L4 = 1st–4th larval stage
