The purpose of the review was to assess the models' ability to determine if there are constraints present that pressure a particular species to remain hermaphroditic. The models of Michael Ghiselin, E.L. Charnov, J.J. Bull, and J. Maynard Smith were examined in order to test their applicability to the nudibranch Hermissenda crassicornis. The ecology of H. crassicornis was reviewed in reference to the models so that their fit in relation to what is known about H. crassicornis could be evaluated.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USHermaphroditismMarine BiologyHermissenda CrassicornisThesis / Dissertation
