Herein we report evidence of widespread and ancient androdioecy in crustaceans in the genus <em>Eulimnadia,<\/em> based on observations of over 33,000 shrimp from 36 locations from every continent except Antarctica. Using phylogenetic, biogeographic and paleontological evidence, we infer that androdioecy in <em>Eulimnadia<\/em> has persisted for 24 \u2013 180 million years and has been maintained through multiple speciation events. These results suggest that androdioecy is a highly successful aspect of the life history of these freshwater crustaceans, and has persisted for orders of magnitude longer than predicted by current models of this rare breeding system.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"style1\">Note: This paper has been &#8220;featured research&#8221; in both Nature and\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"http:\/\/www3.uakron.edu\/biology\/currbiol.pdf\">Current Biology<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract Among the variety of reproductive mechanisms exhibited by living systems, one permutation &#8211; androdioecy (mixtures of males and hermaphrodites) &#8211; is distinguished by its rarity.
