Extended Data Fig. 3: Comparisons of laboratory and simulated populations in four conditions.
(A-F) Data from worms in representative laboratory populations and corresponding simulations; culling and feeding schedules show the parameter that was varied in color, with data in the corresponding color. (A,C,D,F) Red curves show the laboratory population or simulation with 10% culling of all stages every 24 h and 10 mg feeding every 24 h. (A,B,D,E) Purple curves show the laboratory population or simulation with 10% culling of all stages every 24 h and 5 mg feeding every 24 h. (B,E) Blue curves show the laboratory population or simulation with 5% culling of all stages every 24 h and 5 mg feeding every 24 h. (C,F) Green curves show the laboratory population or simulation with 10% culling of all stages every 48 h and 10 mg feeding every 48 h. (A) Comparison of laboratory populations with 5 mg (purple) and 10 mg (red) feeding. (B) Comparison of laboratory populations with 5% (blue) and 10% (purple) culling. (C) Comparison of laboratory populations with 24 h (red) and 48 h (green) feeding and culling. (D) Comparison of simulations with 5 mg (purple) and 10 mg (red) feeding. (E) Comparison of simulations with 5% (blue) and 10% (purple) culling. (F) Comparison of simulations with 24 (red) and 48 h (green) feeding and culling. The same data are shown in Extended Data Fig. 2.
