Maturation rates for C. elegans raised at 20°C or 25°C on live E. coli . Solid and dashed gray (overlapping) lines = Control and Low PQ treatments, and black solid and dashed lines = Medium and High PQ treatments, respectively. Error bars represent one SEM; lines connect equivalent PQ treatments. ANOVA revealed highly significant effects of Temperature (F_{1, 298} = 2695.9, P <0.0001) and PQ level (F₃ = 110.8, P < 0.0001) but not their interaction (F₃ = 0.950, P = 0.420) on maturation rate measured as time in hours to first reproductive event.
