Age-dependent survival of N. furzeri species complex and N. rachovii species complex. (A) Survivorship of N. furzeri MZZW 07/01 (pink broken line n = 124), N. furzeri MZM 04/10 (red broken line, n = 113), N. furzeri MZCS 08/122 (brown broken line, n = 33), N. kuhntae MT-03/04 (light blue broken line n = 23; censored at age 33 weeks due to disease outbreak), N. kuhntae “aquarium strain” (blue broken line, n = 25) and N. kuhntae MOZ 04/07 (dark blue broken line, n = 24). Pooled survivorship of N. furzeri (n = 223) is shown in solid red and the survivorship of pooled N. kuhntae (n = 72) is shown in solid blue. The difference in the survivorship between the two pooled groups is highly significant (Log-Rank test, p < 0.0001). For descriptive statistics and pair wise comparisons see Additional file 1: Table S2, Additional file 2: Table S3 – (B) Survivorship of N. pienaari MOZ 99/3 (red line, n = 61). N. pienaari MOZ 99/9 (green line, n = 31), N. rachovii Beira 98 (light blue line, n = 34) and N. rachovii MT 03/01 (blue line, n = 43). For descriptive statistics and pair-wise comparisons see Additional file 4: Table S4, Additional file 5: Table S5.
