Comment: | Caenorhabditis species have known to form facultative or obligate associations with other soil invertebrates. C. remanei, in particular, has been observed to form associations with terrestial moluscs and terrestial isopods. Unlike C.elegans and C.briggsae that reproduce largely via self-fertilization of hermaphrodites and very rarely outcross with males C. remanei exhibits an obligately outcrossing breeding system with an even sex ratio. |
