Transcriptomic sexual conflict at two evolutionary timescales revealed by experimental evolution in Caenorhabditis elegans

K. R. Kasimatis, J. H. Willis, C. A. Sedore, P. C. Phillips

This study uses experimental evolution in C. elegans to show sex-specific gene expression changes driven by sexual selection, revealing transcriptomic sexual conflict over short evolutionary timescales.

A novel sperm-derived seminal fluid protein in Caenorhabditis nematodes

K. R. Kasimatis, C. Rehaluk, L. Rowe, A. D. Cutter

This study identifies a novel sperm-derived seminal fluid protein in nematodes, showing its functional localization and evolutionary benefit to male fitness.

Post-Insemination Selection Dominates Pre-Insemination Selection in Driving Rapid Evolution of Male Competitive Ability

K. R. Kasimatis, M. J. Moerdyk-Schauwecker, R. Lancaster, A. Smith, J. H. Willis, P. C. Phillips

This study shows post-insemination selection is more effective than pre-insemination selection in driving rapid evolution of male reproductive success in C. elegans.

Evaluating Human Autosomal Loci for Sexually Antagonistic Viability Selection in Two Large Biobanks

K. R. Kasimatis, A. Abraham, P. L. Ralph, A. D. Kern, J. A. Capra, P. C. Phillips

The paper evaluates evidence for sexually antagonistic viability selection on autosomal loci in humans using two large biobanks but finds no significant replication of associations, suggesting limited ongoing selection on single locus variation.

Limits to Genomic Divergence Under Sexually Antagonistic Selection

K. R. Kasimatis, P. L. Ralph, P. C. Phillips

This study shows that strong sexually antagonistic selection is needed for measurable sex-specific allelic divergence, and that small samples can falsely inflate male-female genetic differentiation.

Proteomic and Evolutionary Analyses of Sperm Activation Identify Uncharacterized Genes in Caenorhabditis Nematodes

K. R. Kasimatis, M. J. Moerdyk-Schauwecker, N. Timmermeyer, P. C. Phillips

The paper identifies two novel nematode-specific gene families in Caenorhabditis species and shows they are conserved within the clade but do not affect male fertility when knocked out.

Quantifying male and female pheromone-based mate choice in Caenorhabditis nematodes using a novel microfluidic technique

F. Borne, K. R. Kasimatis, P. C. Phillips

The paper introduces a microfluidic technique to study pheromone-based mate choice in nematodes and finds that attraction strength depends on male receptivity and female signal production, with females preferring virgin males.
