Cold Shock Recovery has diverse phenotypes. ab 12 h post 4 h cold shock (HpCS), late stage embryos accumulate in the gonads, eventually causing a bag of worms phenotype. cf 24 HpCS the intestine has drastically decreased in width and pigmentation and the gonad arms have shrunk. Braces indicate intestine width; brackets indicate the posterior gonad arm. gj Cold-shocked worms that survive to 72 h largely regain their intestinal pigmentation and size; however, they exhibit a protruding vulva phenotype. Braces indicate intestine; arrow indicates vulva
