Abstract
Does dispersal facilitate the evolution of self-fertilization? McCauley et al. (2025) showed experimentally that dispersal from unfavorable conditions supports the evolution of self-fertilization in a nematode worm, thereby providing experimental evidence for Baker's law. This finding is in line with previous theoretical studies on the evolution of self-fertilization.
期刊介绍:
Evolution, published for the Society for the Study of Evolution, is the premier publication devoted to the study of organic evolution and the integration of the various fields of science concerned with evolution. The journal presents significant and original results that extend our understanding of evolutionary phenomena and processes.
