0.078 at 15 degC and 0.133 at 25 degC. on an agar plate. similar to a previously published value for worm speed {Pierce-Shimomura, 1999}, although it is approximately half of another published value {Ryu, 2002}.Worm speed reaches a maximum between 20°C and 25°C, and declines at both cooler and warmer temperatures. |
