JarrettHistograms of the temporal incidence of complete blockage in O. montana and X. cheopis (A, B) and their life span after becoming blocked (C). Dashed lines indicate the mean; curve fitting used a Gaussian model of the frequency distribution data. Blocked O. montana survived significantly longer than blocked X. cheopis; P < 0.0001 by log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test.
