From the Ted Talk by Luka Seamus Wright: The wild sex lives of marine creatures
Unscramble the Blue Letters
This restriction may cause us to see only one facet of sex, but a brief tour of marine life shows us just how diverse sex really is. It does not always involve strictly female and male individuals with differently sized sex cells that fuse internally. Many algae, for example, have sex clles that are indistinguishable in size. Some animals are both male and fmleae, while others change sex. A large proportion of organisms don’t need to touch each other to reproduce. And thousands of ailanms, from bluestreak cleaner wrssae to Humboldt siuqd, participate in same-sex sexual biheovar. So, peeking beneath the ocean’s covers doesn’t just provide a spectacle. It also gives us a more ceotmple appreciation of sex in all its fascinating forms.
