Extended Data Fig. 6: Larva & dauer culling influences the transitions of the bacteria node.
(A-L) Representative simulated populations with 10 mg feeding and 10% (A-C), 75% (D-F), 80% (G-I), and 85% (J-L) stage-specific culling of larva and dauer. The bacteria node is associated with four transitions: (1) bacteria input, bt(i > b), is user programmable and was set to 10 mg/24 h, (2,3) bacteria ingestion by larvae bt(b > l) and adults bt(b > a), (4) bacteria culling, bt(b > c). Because bacteria culling is set to zero as an input parameter in this computational simulation, bt(b > c) is not shown. The transitions of the bacteria node are displayed as mg bacteria/3 hours. (B,E,H,K) Enlargements show days 50–60, corresponding to the yellow boxes. (C,F,I,L) Flow diagrams of the bacteria node. Values represent average mg bacteria/3 hours. The same simulated populations are shown in Figs. 4,5, Extended Data Fig. 5, Supplementary Fig. 11–17
