Table 1 The reproductive capacity of nematocin signalling mutants. The larvae produced by seven one day old adults in a 24 hour period was scored. LSC42 and LSC48 were outcrossed 3x and 4x, respectively. FX02243 was not outcrossed. Data are mean ± s.e.mean. One way ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparisons. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 with respect to N2.
