A microscopic view of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), a hermaphroditic
nematode. Although capable of self-fertilization, C. elegans hermaphrodites
keep males on hand because sex, it seems, confers a developmental advantage
for survival. New work from the lab of Elizabeth Goodwin, UW-Madison professor
of genetics, published in the Nov. 7, 2003 Science shows that C. elegans
progeny derived from sexual reproduction can undergo sex change after birth
to better survive chemical changes in the environment and shortages of food.
