We are investigating whether general patterns like these may explain the rarity of hermaphroditism."
Yale University and the National science Foundation funded the research"We were surprised to see that a hermaphrodite could spend 30 percent of its lifetime in the process of change sex, and still persist in a population," said Kazancıoğlu. "This suggests that only huge costs can disfavor sex change."So, why is sex change so rare? And, why does one species of fish reproduce strictly as separate sexes, while another very closely
