Abstract:

Caenorhabditis briggsae is a member of the 'elegans group', a monophyletic clade of seven species within Caenorhabditis. Species identifications within this group are difficult. C. briggsae and C. elegans can be distinguished in that they are hermaphroditic whereas the other members of the elegans group are gonochoristic. C. briggsae and C. clavopapillata can be distinguished from other elegans group members based on their patterns of
