The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans has risen to the status of a top model organism for
biological research in the last fifty years. Among laboratory animals, this tiny nematode is …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is now a major model organism in biology. The
choice of Sydney Brenner to adopt this species in the mid-1960s and the success of his …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been central to the understanding of metazoan
biology. However, C. elegans is but one species among millions and the significance of this …

The evolution of predominant self‐fertilisation frequently coincides with the evolution of a
collection of phenotypes that comprise the 'selfing syndrome', in both plants and animals …

Caenorhabditis nematodes form an excellent model for studying how the mode of
reproduction affects genetic diversity, as some species reproduce via outcrossing whereas …

Sterile male releases have successfully reduced local populations of the dengue vector,
Aedes aegypti, but challenges remain in scale and in separating sexes before release. The …

Biologists have long appreciated natural variation in the nematode phylum. The
development of Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism has provided a rich set of …

Resource polyphenisms, where single genotypes produce alternative feeding strategies in
response to changing environments, are thought to be facilitators of evolutionary novelty …

The effect of the detailed connectivity of a neural circuit on its function and the resulting
behavior of the organism is a key question in many neural systems. Here, we study the …

Despite their importance in sexual differentiation and reproduction, Y chromosome genes
are rarely described because they reside in repeat-rich regions that are difficult to study …
