This study quantifies developmental plasticity in C. elegans hermaphrodite sperm production across environments and finds it is often oocyte-limited, not sperm-limited, with genetic background affecting plasticity.

The paper shows that mechanical instabilities in the aorta drive the extrusion of haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells during embryogenesis through collective endothelial cell migration.

This study identifies convergent evolution of sperm gigantism in Caenorhabditis nematodes and shows that sperm size variation is established early in development.
