    Genet Res 81:91-102. 2003
    ..Finally, we discuss the short-term and long-term factors that are likely to affect sex ratio and breeding system evolution in species like C. elegans...

    J Evol Biol 23:748-56. 2010
    ..That is, population divergence tended to be along the same axes as within-population covariance. Together, these results suggest a lack of evolutionary independence in the syndrome's constituent traits...

    ..6. We thus suggest that the availability of large insects may be a critical factor restricting social species to their lowland tropical habitats...
