Figure 1
Partial unscaled phylogeny of the Caenorhabditis genus showing species for which strains are available in culture and, thus, for experimental studies. Hermaphroditic species are shown in red and male–female species are shown in blue. Species in the queue for sequencing are indicated by a boxed asterisk; those that have already been sequenced are indicated in bold (the Caenorhabditis remanei genome is under assembly). Pristionchus pacificus and Haemonchus contortus are used as outgroups (Kiontke & Fitch, 2005; Kiontke & Sudhaus, 2006).

The European Molecular Biology Organization workshop on the Study of Evolutionary Biology with Caenorhabditis elegans and Closely Related Species was held at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Oeiras, Portugal, from 23 to 26 May 2006. The meeting was organized by H. Teotónio, M.-A. Félix, R. Azevedo and P. Phillips.
