Sex allocation is a crucial life-history parameter in all sexual organisms. Over the last
decades a body of evolutionary theory, sex allocation theory, was developed, which has …

Sexual systems vary considerably among caridean shrimps and while most species are
gonochoric, others are described as sequential protandric hermaphrodites or simultaneous …

Shrimps from the genus Lysmata are known because of their wide diversity of lifestyles,
mating systems, symbiotic partnerships, and conspicuous coloration. They can occur in …

Sequential hermaphroditism (sex change) has been reported in many decapod crustaceans,
but it has not been fully reviewed to date. In this review, I have integrated and sorted …

Preface xii an individual can be both a functional male and a female at the same time. In
some of these simultaneous hermaphrodites, an individual may alternate between male and …

Abstract The 'Tomlinson–Ghiselin'hypothesis (TGh) predicts that outcrossing simultaneous
hermaphroditism (SH) is advantageous when population density is low because the …

Shrimps from the ecologically diverse genera Lysmata and Exhippolysmata are rare among
marine invertebrates because they are protandric simultaneous hermaphrodites: shrimps …

Lysmata hochi n. sp., a new peppermint shrimp, is described from Bocas del Toro,
Caribbean coast of Panama. All individuals were collected on near-shore fossil coral …

Of paramount importance to studies that profit from molecular trees is the accuracy and
robustness of the reconstructed phylogenies. Causes of systematic error that can mislead …

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of animals can provide useful
information for evolutionary and phylogenetic analyses. The mitogenome of the genus …
