Abstract
- The authors describe the two species of Temora stylifera they have identified in Southern Brazil which exhibit sexual anomalies. They say that the gynandromorphic copepoda had an ovary, oviducts, female genital somite, antennule and fifth leg. The male copepoda has the same antennules, microcosms and swimming behavior with other species. They also discovered geniculation on both male antennules.
