Direct inference of the distribution of fitness effects of spontaneous mutations from recombinant inbred C. elegans mutation accumulation lines

This study infers the distribution of fitness effects of mutations in C. elegans using recombinant inbred lines, finding that positive effects are common but LD can skew results.

Cumulative effects of mutation and selection on susceptibility to bacterial pathogens in Caenorhabditis elegans

The paper examines how mutations and selection affect pathogen susceptibility in C. elegans, finding mutations increase susceptibility and selection acts on it, but no fitness tradeoffs are observed.

Head-to-Head Comparison of Three Methods of Quantifying Competitive Fitness in C. elegans

The paper compares three methods for quantifying competitive fitness in C. elegans, finding no significant differences in results but highlighting increased speed with automated tools.

The mutational decay of male and hermaphrodite competitive fitness in the androdioecious nematode C. elegans, in which males are naturally rare

The paper estimates mutational effects on male and hermaphrodite competitive fitness in C. elegans, finding males decay faster due to higher mutation rates and mating variability.
