For a parasitic male worm, they do not produce sperm until a female is around. Usually, living things try to increase their reproductive sucess, but this animal is very unusual. Scientists believe that like rodents, fish, and insect maybe they are cutting back on their social circumstance, but it’s different with the worms because they don’t have any sperm in them, whereas the other animals just cut back. SCientist also believe that this would make sense because worms have an unusual history. Scientist are still trying to research this project, so if you know anything about spermless worms, call them.
I was interested in reading this article because I was unaware that there even was such a thing as a ‘male’ worm. All the worms I have learned about are hermaphroditic (producing both sperm and egg cells).
