Developmental plasticity of hermaphrodite sperm production across environments in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

2025-06-24

Abstract excerpt

Many organisms show flexible resource allocation to adjust for optimal reproductive investment across different environments. How such reproductive plasticity occurs in hermaphroditic organisms—allocating resources to both oocytes and sperm—are central questions of sex allocation research. Self-fertilizing hermaphrodites of the androdioecious nematode Caenorhabditis elegans exhibit a sequential transition from sp...
