- fewer eggs laid
Animals lay fewer total number of eggs over the lifetime of the animal.
- unfertilized oocytes laid
Animals lay inactivated oocytes. In C elegans this may be due to perturbations that eliminate spermatogenesis or result in the production of defective sperm.
- egg laying response to food variant
Animals exhibit variations in egg-laying behavior in response to food compared to control. In C. elegans, well-fed animals lay more eggs compared with starved animals.
- inactive phase short
The period during which a worm usually does not lay eggs is short compared with control animals, based on the analysis of the distribution of the log intervals of egg-laying events.
