文摘
- •
Wild isolates of C. elegans vary in a male-male mating behavior
- •
In some isolates, males deposit copulatory plugs on each other’s excretory pores
- •
A mutation in a conserved gene renders pores attractive or receptive to matings
- •
Excretory pore plugging may be a side effect of mating system evolution
