***p < 0.0001, **p < 0.005, *p < 0.05; Fisher's Exact Test. All p values were calculated as compared to wild type males, except for p values for the lin-1(n1790gf); Int HS::lin-3 and lin-31(n301lf); Int HS::lin-3 strains which were each compared to the Int HS::lin-3 strain.
^a All strains contained him-5(e1490) and the integrated ceh-13::GFP transgene syIs145.
^b The integrated HS::EGF transgene syIs197 was used.
