Mutation and the experimental evolution of outcrossing in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2005

Cutter A D

Abstract excerpt

An understanding of the forces that contribute to the phylogenetically widespread phenomenon of sexual reproduction has posed a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology. Mutational theories contend that sex can be maintained when the deleterious mutation rate is sufficiently high, although empirical evidence is equivocal and experimental studies are rare. To test the influence of mutation on the evolution of...
