Deep sampling of Hawaiian Caenorhabditis elegans reveals high genetic diversity and admixture with global populations

Hawaiian isolates of the nematode species Caenorhabditis elegans have long been known to harbor genetic diversity greater than the rest of the worldwide population, but this observation was supported by only a small number of wild strains. To better characterize the niche and genetic diversity of Ha...
