Variation in lawn leaving behavior between N2 and CB4856 towards different bacterial strains. Lawn leaving behavior towards: (a) the non-pathogenic E. coli strain OP50; (b) the non-nematocidal B. thuringiensis strain DSM350; (c) the nematocidal B. thuringiensis strain B-18247; and (d) the highly nematocidal B. thuringiensis strain B-18679. The Y axis shows the leaving index for N2 (blue) or CB4856 (red), calculated as the proportion of nematodes which left the bacterial lawn; the X axis indicates the different exposure time points. Asterisks denote the treatments for which leaving behavior of CB4856 is significantly different from N2. The dotted reference line shows a leaving index of 0.5. Error bars represent standard error of the mean. Raw data are given in sheet 1 of Additional file 2. Detailed statistical results are shown in Additional file 3
