Selection against males in Caenorhabditis elegans under two mutational treatments.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Feb 2007

Manoel Diogo, Carvalho Sara, Phillips Patrick C, Teotónio Henrique

Abstract excerpt

Within populations with mixed mating systems, selfing is expected to be favoured over outcrossing unless a countervailing process such as severe inbreeding depression is present. In this study, we consider the relationship between the expression of deleterious alleles and the maintenance of outcrossing in the nematode species, Caenorhabditis elegans. This species is characterized by an androdioecious breeding...
