Sex cord-stromal (granulosa cell) tumor in an ovotestis from a cow. [PDF]
Development of gonadal tumors within an ovotestis is rare in mammals and this disturbance was not reported in cows. We report herein a gonadal stromal (granulosa cell) tumor in an ovotestis of a 15-month-old heifer from which the reproductive tract was obtained from a local slaughterhouse.

True hermaphroditism with bilateral ovotestis: a case report [PDF]
SummaryA true hermaphrodite with a 46 XX/47 XXY karyotype, gynaecomastia, hypospadia and scrotal gonads was investigated. Gonadectomy performed at 14 years of age revealed bilateral ovotestes. The ovarian portion contained follicles of all developmental stages.

Ultrastructure of spermatogenesis and gonad somatic cells of a hermaphrodite gland of Eobania vermiculata (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) Müller, 1774 in Egypt [PDF]
The spermatogenesis of adult snail Eobania vermiculata was investigated using transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies. The hermaphrodite gland (ovotestis) is composed of many lobes which have numerous acini. Each acinus was filled with many stages

Phylogenetic analysis of the Camaenidae (Mollusca: Stylommatophora) with special emphasis on the american taxa [PDF]
The monophyly of the land snail family Camaenidae has been in doubt due to a disjunct bihemispheric distributional pattern and to the lack of morphological synapomorphies.

Experimental confirmation of protandric simultaneous hermaphroditism in a Caridean shrimp outside of the genus Lysmata [PDF]
Caridean shrimps display a variety of sexual systems including gonochorism and various forms of protandry but rarely simultaneous hermaphroditism. Protandric simultaneous hermaphroditism (PSH) has thus far only been demonstrated in the genus Lysmata. The
