This book focuses on explaining the distribution of sexual systems (simultaneous hermaphroditism, sequential hermaphroditism, environmental sex determination,dioecy, androdioecy, etc.) among taxa,which remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Although significant advances have been made fo...
