  • Title: Sex determination: ways to evolve a hermaphrodite.
    Author: Braendle C, Félix MA.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2006 Jun 20; 16(12):R468-71. PubMed ID: 16782005.
    Abstract:
    Most species of the nematode genus Caenorhabditis reproduce through males and females; C. elegans and C. briggsae, however, produce self-fertile hermaphrodites instead of females. These transitions to hermaphroditism evolved convergently through distinct modifications of germline sex determination mechanisms.
