Conflict between the sexes over reproductive interests can drive rapid evolution of traits and promote speciation. Here we show that inter-species mating Caenorhabditis nematodes sterilizes maternal individuals. The principal effectors male-induced harm are sperm cells, which induce sterility shorten lifespan by displacing conspecific sperm, invading ovary, sometimes breaching gonad to infiltrate other tissues. This sperm-mediated is pervasive across species, but idiosyncrasies in its...
