This study shows that paternal control of offspring sex ratio leads to more female-biased sex ratios and sexual antagonism in structured populations.

The paper investigates Caenorhabditis nematode species composition and colonization dynamics in tropical forests, finding globally distributed androdiecious species dominate and colonization occurs via phoresy with low founder numbers.

The paper estimates the genetic architecture of early-life phenotypes in Streblospio benedicti, showing larval anatomy is controlled by offspring genotype while size depends on maternal and paternal loci.

This study investigates the mating system of C. tropicalis, finding that selfing reduces outbreeding depression caused by gene drive elements.

This paper investigates how hybridization between two Caenorhabditis nematode species leads to asexual reproduction through altered meiosis and genome inheritance.

The paper expands the CeMEE panel, reports updated QTL mapping results, and finds that additive QTL explain 3% of trait variance with >80% power.

The paper uses the CeMEE panel to study the genetic basis of fertility and body size in C. elegans, finding that epistasis, not common additive alleles, explains significant trait variance.
