Here, an opposing direction of selection acting on males may come to act: the reproductive benefit of
protandrous males, which selects for small body size (Gotthard 2004; Stillwell et al.
Reproductive biology and
protandrous Hermaphroditism in Acanthopagrus latus.
The percentage of males found in the control treatment was already expected as the common snook is a
protandrous hermaphrodite species according to Taylor et al.
Although the majority of threadfin species are apparently
protandrous hermaphrodites, a few are gonochoristic (Dentzau and Chittenden Jr, 1990).
Sex differential nectar secretion in
protandrous Alstroemeria aurea (Alstroemeriaceae): is production altered by pollen removal and receipt?
Protandrous arrival timing to breeding areas: a review.
Flowers are produced over a terminal portion of the stalks, have pale blue tubular corollas (tube length 6-8 mm), and are hermaphroditic and
protandrous. New flowers open continuously throughout the day, and each flower lasts for 1.5-2.5 d.
Relative fitness of selfed and outcrossed progeny in a self-compatible,
protandrous species, Sabatia angularis L (Gentianaceae): a comparison in three environments.
alba is predominantly allogamous,
protandrous, and heterostylous.
Chasmogamous flowers in this genus are strongly
protandrous, making these plants amenable to controlled pollinations and quantitative genetic mating designs (e.g., Mitchell-Olds 1986, Schoen et al.
Crassostrea virginica is a
protandrous hermaphrodite.
However, adult females are sedentary in this
protandrous hermaphrodite (Chaparro et al., 2001).
