Abstract excerpt
The sister species Caenorhabditis briggsae and Caenorhabditis nigoni are the first Caenorhabditis nematode pair known to produce viable F1 hybrids, making them an ideal model for speciation study. Male F1 hybrids are lethal or sterile depending on the parent of origin, while F1 females, though viable, exhibit distinct phenotypes in fecundity and viability. Besides, both female hybrids could mate with C. nigoni...
