Reproductive assurance drives transitions to self-fertilization in experimental Caenorhabditis elegans.

BMC biology - 5 Nov 2014

Theologidis Ioannis, Chelo Ivo M, Goy Christine, Teotónio Henrique

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Evolutionary transitions from outcrossing between individuals to selfing are partly responsible for the great diversity of animal and plant reproduction systems. The hypothesis of 'reproductive assurance' suggests that transitions to selfing occur because selfers that are able to reproduce on their own ensure the persistence of populations in environments where mates or pollination agents are...
