What is an androdioecious mating system? Review evidence for androdioecy in animals in the paper by Weeks and colleagues (2006), "When Males and Hermaphrodites Coexist: A Review of Androdioecy in Animals" (Integrative & Comparative Biology, vol. 46, pp. 449-464). What kinds of selection pressures do you think would favor androdioecy? Using the paper by SaumitouLaprade and colleagues (2010) entitled "A Self-Incompatibility System Explains High Male Frequencies in an Androdioecious Plant" (Science, vol. 327, pp. 648-1650) as a springboard, develop at least two hypotheses that might explain the maintenance of males in androdioecious systems.
