Although significant advances have been made for angiosperms, there is not yet a theory that predicts the sexual system for the majority of animal taxa, and other taxa of plants also remain poorly understood. . The problem, particularly for animals, is that sexual systems can be very conservative, with whole phyla and classes being characterized by a single sexual system; for example essentially the whole phylum Platyhelminthes is simultaneously hermaphroditic, whereas the Insecta (Hexapoda) and the Tetrapoda among the vertebrates, are exclusively dioecious. Sex allocation theory on the other hand, suggests that sexual systems should be highly responsive to evolution, changing with population density, life span, patterns of resource availability, etc. The book provides an overview of the topic and then presents a series of chapters, each dealing with a taxon with substantial lability in sexual system in order to identify the fa | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 关键词 | Dioecy; Hermaphroditism; Williams’ Paradox; Diversity of Sexual Systems; Environmental Sex Determination | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-94139-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-94139-4 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 |
