Inverse correlation between longevity and developmental rate among wild C. elegans strains
Figure 1. Lifespan, developmental time and total progeny number of wild-derived C. elegans strains. Lifespan (A), developmental time (B), and brood size (C) of 16 selected wild-derived C. elegans strains. Please note that FUdR was used for lifespan assays to prevent progeny hatching. Please also note that the averages of lifespan, developmental time, and brood size of laboratory N2 strain were mostly similar to those of ancestral N2 (p > 0.05 for all the comparison, except p = 0.004 in one out of three trials of lifespan assays).
