Contrary to classic theoretical predictions, Sprenger et al. (2011) have shown for the first time that the mating rate is largely unresponsive to variations in mate availability in this simultaneous hermaphrodite. With mating rates being close to the female fitness optimum, their findings challenge the prevailing notion of male-driven mating rates in simultaneous hermaphrodites, and call for complementary investigations of ma ...
