  1. Strain BW287 (identified by asterisk) has historically been known as a nematode in the genus Panagrolaimus; nuclear ribosomal DNA and mtDNA sequencing carried out in the Denver lab, involving strains obtained from three different sources, agree that this isolate is instead a strain of C. briggsae. EG4207A was established from a single nematode picked from EG4207 that constituted a C. briggsae lab population initially established from many nematodes. For Clade, TE indicates the temperate intraspecific clade, TR the tropical clade and KE the Kenya clade. Fecundity shows the mean numbers of progeny produced for each isolate (four worms assayed per strain) and the S. E. M. is shown in parentheses.
