Extended Data Fig. 5: Larva & dauer culling influences the size and dynamics of the worm nodes.
Representative simulated populations with 10 mg feeding and 10% (A), 75% (C), 80% (E), and 85% (G) stage-specific culling of larva and dauers (from 4, 6, 7, and 3 simulated populations, respectively). (B,D,F,H) Enlargements show days 50–75, corresponding to the yellow boxes. The number of worms in each node (egg, larva, dauer, adult, and parlad) is shown separately, and the black line shows the sum of all nodes. Note that the adults starve and transition to parlads one or more times in panels B and D, whereas this is not observed in panels F and H. The same simulated populations are shown in Figs. 4,5, Extended data Fig. 6, Supplementary Fig. 11–17
