- vulval cell induction increased
An excess number of vulval precursor cells receive an inductive signal leading to an increased number of VPCs adopting vulval fates compared to control animals.
- velocity of movement variant
Animals exhibit variations in the net velocity of an animal, that is, the maximum distance an animal traverses over an extended period of time, from that observed for control animals.
- osmotic integrity variant
Any variation in the process involved in the maintenance of an internal equilibrium of water within an organism, compared to control.
- response to multiple stressors variant
Any variation in an animal's response to exposure to multiple stressors occuring simultaneously or during an overlapping temporal window compared to control.
