Do males matter? The role of males in population dynamics (2007, background): “Extreme sexual size dimorphism in some fishes form perhaps the best examples (in extreme cases, dwarf males merge with females, Pietsch 2005).”
Decapod crustacean phylogenetics (2009, background): “2005), anglerfish (Lophiiformes) (Pietsch 2005), blanket octopus (Tremoctopodidae), argonauts (Argonautidae), football octopus (Ocythoidae), and a deeper water octopus Haliphron atlanticus (Alloposidae) (Norman et al.”
Evolutionary and ecological constraints of fish spawning habitats (2015, background): “Once encountered, the male permanently attaches itself to the female, and effectually becomes a traveling gonad, providing gametes to the mate, in turn receiving nourishment from her—a strategy known as sexual parasitism (Pietsch, 2005).”
REVIEW. Sex with the lights on? A review of bioluminescent sexual dimorphism in the sea (2007, background): “…system, but is expressed particularly in their size, females always being much larger than the (dwarf, and often attached) males (Bertelsen, 1951; Pietsch, 2005) (figure 4). females may well be using their luminous lures to attract the males, but it is assumed (on the basis of observations of…”
