A role for sperm in regulation of egg-laying in the nematode C. elegans.

BMC developmental biology - 1 May 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In insects and in mammals, male sperm and seminal fluid provide signaling factors that influence various aspects of female physiology and behavior to promote reproductive success and to compete with other males. It is less apparent how important such signaling is in the context of a self-fertile hermaphrodite species. We have addressed this question in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, which can...
