Mating strategies, whether sexual or asexual, confer unique costs and benefits to populations and species that facilitate evolutionary processes. In wild isolates of Caenorhabditis elegans, mating strategies are dependent on developmental history. Outcrossing significantly increases when one or both parents have transiently passed through the stress-resistant dauer diapause stage. However, the mechanisms of how...
