The paper generates and analyzes recombinant inbred lines (RILs) in Caenorhabditis becei to study heritable variation and QTLs in a gonochoristic nematode population.

The paper surveys Caenorhabditis nematodes on Pohnpei, finds new species, and uses phylogenetics to infer that the Elegans Supergroup originated in the Americas and diversified in the Pacific before reaching Asia.

This study identifies abundant mitochondrial mutations and widespread mitonuclear epistasis in C. elegans by analyzing genetic variation and phenotypic outcomes across diverse strains.

This paper identifies C. becei as an experimentally tractable gonochorist and shows conserved genetic properties from androdioecious species, along with new genomic features.
