Caenorhabditis tropicalis followed a unique evolutionary path to self-fertility.

Genetics - 5 Aug 2026

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis nematodes provide 3 natural experiments in which a male/female species evolved to produce 1 with males and self-fertile hermaphrodites. Such changes in mating systems are among the most complex and consequential transformations to occur in evolution and provide excellent models for evolutionary change. Studies of Caenorhabditis elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae have shown that each species...
