Dramatic evolution of body length due to post-embryonic changes in cell size in a newly discovered close relative of <i>C. elegans</i>

2017-08-26

Abstract excerpt

Understanding morphological diversity—and morphological constrainto—has been a central question in evolutionary biology since its inception. Nematodes of the genus Caenorhabditis , which contains the well-studied model system C. elegans , display remarkable morphological consistency in the face of extensive genetic divergence. Here, we provide a description of the broad developmental patterns of a recently disco...
