EXPERIMENTAL EVOLUTION OF THE CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS SEX DETERMINATION PATHWAY
Abstract
Sex determination is a critical developmental decision with major ecological and evolutionary consequences, yet a large variety of sex determination mechanisms exist and we have a poor understanding of how they evolve.
