Genetic (Co)Variation for Life Span in Rhabditid Nematodes: Role of Mutation, Selection, and History

The evolutionary mechanisms maintaining genetic variation in life span, particularly post-reproductive life span, are poorly understood. We characterized the effects of spontaneous mutations on life span in the rhabditid nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans and C. briggsae and standing genetic variance...
