Mating of the relatively common sea star, Archaster typicus, provides an excellent opportunity to study maturation processes and behavioral differences between males and females, since monomorphism does not allow separation under normal conditions. The present study determined biological and behavioral features of males and females during the mating season in the Davao Gulf (Philippines). Thousands of pairs were observed in September and October 2008 with a mean density of 3 pairs m−2. Around… Expand
