“…Natural phenotypic variation has been explored in C. briggsae for several traits, including male tail morphology (Baird, 2001;Baird et al, 2005), vulval cell fate (Delattre and Félix, 2001;Dolgin et al, 2008) and fecundity (Fodor et al, 1983;Prasad et al, 2011). Our findings of heritable behaviour differences among wild genetic backgrounds that can exceed interspecific differences underscores the importance of quantifying intraspecific variability as a reference for contrasts between species.…”

“…However, the model tacitly assumes that deleterious mutations never reach appreciable frequency in the population, so it is reasonable to assume that subpopulations do not diverge substantially due to genetic drift, and positive selection is ignored in any case. Both C. elegans and C. briggsae show a specieswide clade structure, with two deep clades in C. elegans (Denver et al 2003) and three in C. briggsae (Dolgin et al 2008). The clades in C. briggsae largely reflect geography, with the three lineages representing temperate, tropical, and equatorial clades (Dolgin et al 2008), whereas the deep clades in C. elegans are apparently not geographically structured (but see Rockman and Kruglyak 2009).…”

In addition, some collections contain several individuals from the same collecting location, but many locations include only a single individual.…”
