We propose 2 approaches to further understand sex role decisions in hermaphrodites.
In general, this study emphasizes the unexplored link between age and size on sex role decisions in hermaphrodites (Table 1).
In hermaphrodites, sex role decisions seem highly flexible and condition dependent (Anthes et al. 2006a; Table 1).
In sum, we found that both age and size influence sex role decisions in L. stagnalis and that age seems to have the stronger influence.
Thus, previous studies have unveiled a great plasticity and vast complexity in sex role decisions in hermaphrodites, though the underlying mechanism still needs elucidation.
In sum, sex role decisions in L. stagnalis are largely determined by age and size but not by having received seminal fluid.
These 4 combinations were selected as they allowed us to isolate the effect of age and size on sex role decisions.
This will help to understand their role, decisions they make, and the possible day to day barriers that they are faced with to gain competitive employment for clients.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
