Evolution of outcrossing in experimental populations of Caenorhabditis elegans.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Teotonio Henrique, Carvalho Sara, Manoel Diogo, Roque Miguel, Chelo Ivo M

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis elegans can reproduce exclusively by self-fertilization. Yet, males can be maintained in laboratory populations, a phenomenon that continues to puzzle biologists. In this study we evaluated the role of males in facilitating adaptation to novel environments. For this, we contrasted the evolution of a fitness component exclusive to outcrossing in experimental populations of different mating systems....
