Pronounced and prevalent intersexuality does not impede the ‘Demon Shrimp’ invasion [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Crustacean intersexuality is widespread and often linked to infection by sex-distorting parasites. However, unlike vertebrate intersexuality, its association with sexual dysfunction is unclear and remains a matter of debate.

Intersexuality in the Pig [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1971 In 3 relatively large samples intersexuality was found in 0.2 % of the pigs. Litters with intersexes had a deficit of male piglets. The total number of piglets in such litters was correspondingly reduced. Pig losses until the age of 5 weeks were reduced in intersex litters.
