Quantitative genetic analysis of life-history traits of Caenorhabditis elegans in stressful environments.

BMC evolutionary biology - 22 Jan 2008

Harvey Simon C, Shorto Alison, Viney Mark E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Organisms live in environments that vary. For life-history traits that vary across environments, fitness will be maximised when the phenotype is appropriately matched to the environmental conditions. For the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we have investigated how two major life-history traits, (i) the development of environmentally resistant dauer larvae and (ii) reproduction, respond to...
