    Antol, Weronika, Palka, Joanna K., Sychta, Karolina, Dudek, Katarzyna, & Prokop, Zofia M. (2022). Gene conversion restores selfing in experimentally evolving C. elegans populations with fog-2 loss-of-function mutation. MicroPubl Biol. doi:10.17912/micropub.biology.000569

    Caenorhabditis elegans is a model species, increasingly used in experimental evolution studies to investigate such major topics as: maintenance of genetic variation, host-pathogen interaction and coevolution, mutations, life history, evolution of reproductive systems, sexual selection (Gray and Cutter, 2014; Teotnio, Estes, Phillips, and Baer, 2017). Its reproductive system in the wild, known as androdioecy, involves mostly self-fertilization of hermaphrodites and occasionally outcrossing with males, which are generally rare (Stewart and Phillips, 2002). This system can be experimentally changed to dioecy, i.e., obligatory outcrossing, through genetic manipulations (see Table I in Anderson, Morran, and Phillips, 2010; Gray and Cutter, 2014).
