Phenotypic variation in the mpRILs. On the y-axis, the number of mpRILs is shown. The x-axis values depend on the trait. Heat shock is the average number of dead animals per 50. Oxidative stress indicates activity. Lifespan is the average lifespan on NGM in days. Lifespan (DR) is the average lifespan on DR medium in days. DR effect is the difference in the average lifespan between NGM and DR medium in days. Males OP50 and males Erwinia is the occurrence of males on plates (0 = none , 0.5 = 1 plate, 1 = 2 plates). First egg Erw (1) is the time in hours until the first egg (1–10) for populations grown on Erwinia. First egg Erw (3) is the time in hours until the first egg (> 100) for populations grown on Erwinia. First egg OP50 (1) is the time in hours until the first egg (1–10) for populations grown on OP50. First egg OP50 (3) is the time in hours until the first egg (> 100) for populations grown on OP50. Pop growth shows worms per 5 μl of culture. Length and width in nanometers, LW ratio is the ratio between the length and width; volume in nanoliters. The parental values for these traits are not shown yet were measured in a different batch in Volkers et al. 2013. Distribution in the mpRILs are shown in gray, and parental strains are shown JU1511 (yellow), JU1926 (red), JU1931 (green), and JU1941 (blue)
