Mate choice in a hermaphrodite: You won't score with a spermatophore

Article Abstract:

A study of the reproductive systems and peculiar mating behavior in the marine slug, Aeolidiella glauca, a simultaneous hermaphrodite, is presented. The Aeolidiella glauca's peculiar choice of mate is that the sperm donor avoids a recently mated partner to reduce its risk of being subjected to sperm competition.
