Fig. 2. Dispersal at fixed temperatures for the CB4856 natural isolate. The filled
bars show the actual distributions of individual nematodes allowed to freely
disperse for 10 or 60 min at a given temperature (mean number of individuals
assayed per temperature=452). Individuals did not disperse after 10 min at
10°C. Open bars show the predicted distribution of individuals derived
from the diffusion simulation based on the temperature-dependent linear change
in diffusion coefficient estimated in Fig.
1. The diffusion process closely approximates the actual dispersal
distribution at both time scales.
