Complex heterochrony underlies the evolution of hermaphrodite self-fertility and sex allocation in experimental <i>C. elegans</i> populations

2016-04-09

Abstract excerpt

Hermaphroditic organisms are common both in plants and animals, and have served as key models to study the evolution of sex allocation. Despite extensive past research, the specific developmental mechanisms by which hermaphrodite sex allocation can evolve remain largely unknown. To address this problem, we here use experimental evolution of Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite-male populations to directly quantif...
