Outcrossing in Caenorhabditis elegans increases in response to food limitation

Outcrossing in Caenorhabditis elegans increases in response to food limitation

Abstract Theory predicts that organisms should diversify their offspring when faced with a stressful environment. This prediction has received empirical support across diverse groups of organisms and stressors. For example, when encountered by Caenorhabditis elegans during early development, food li...
