Characteristics of C. elegans sexes and strains used in this study. (A) Representative image of hermaphrodite C. elegans at the L4 stage. (B) Representative image of male C. elegans at the L4 stage. Images were taken at 10X using a Keyence BZ-X710. The scale bar represents 100 μm. (C) Proportion of males in each strain used in this study. Statistical significance of p < 0.05, determined by a one-way ANOVA with a Tukey post hoc test for multiple comparisons, is represented as (a) denoting the comparison of N2 to other strains, (b) denoting the comparison of N2 male enriched (N2ME) to other strains, and (c) denoting the comparison between fog-2, him-5, and him-8 (N2ME vs. him-8: p = 0.0006, N2ME vs. him-5: p = 0.0032, N2ME vs. fog-2: p = 0.0032, N2ME vs. N2: p < 0.0001, him-8 vs. him-5: p = 0.9163, him-8 vs. fog-2: p = 0.9656, him-8 vs. N2: p < 0.0001, him-5 vs. fog-2: p = 0.9998, him-5 vs. N2: p < 0.0001, fog-2 vs. N2: p < 0.0001). Six biological replicates were assessed, each with > 75 worms assessed per replicate
