The role of hermaphrodites in the experimental evolution of increased outcrossing rates in Caenorhabditis elegans.

BMC evolutionary biology - 2 Jun 2014

Carvalho Sara, Chelo Ivo M, Goy Christine, Teotónio Henrique

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Why most organisms reproduce via outcrossing rather than selfing is a central question in evolutionary biology. It has long ago been suggested that outcrossing is favoured when it facilitates adaptation to novel environments. We have previously shown that the experimental evolution of increased outcrossing rates in populations of the male-hermaphrodite nematode Caenorhabditis elegans were correlated...
