Fig. 3. Population density in the ranges used in this report has minimal influence on dauer formation. In hsd-1(mg433); ncr-1(nr2022) worms (colored lines), sterol choice (not worm density) is the major effector of dauer formation at 25°C. hsd-1(mg433) (black line) single mutants, grown on standard cholesterol, display almost 100% dauer bypass at all population densities tested.
