Diversity in mating behavior of hermaphroditic and male-female Caenorhabditis nematodes.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2007

Garcia L Rene, LeBoeuf Brigitte, Koo Pamela

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we addressed why Caenorhabditis elegans males are inefficient at fertilizing their hermaphrodites. During copulation, hermaphrodites generally move away from males before they become impregnated. C. elegans hermaphrodites reproduce by internal self-fertilization, so that copulation with males is not required for species propagation. The hermaphroditic mode of reproduction could potentially relax...
