Sexual segregation in marine fish, reptiles, birds and mammals: behaviour patterns, mechanisms and conservation implications
VJ Wearmouth, DW Sims - Advances in marine biology, 2008 - Elsevier
Sexual segregation occurs when members of a species separate such that the sexes live
apart, either singly or in single‐sex groups. It can be broadly categorised into two types …
