Thirty-five of the 61 males still contained gametes; these worms were found in wider, deeper, and slower-flowing parts of the stream relative to worms that had released their gametes. These results suggest that the physical characteristics of the immediate microhabitat of male worms can determine their probability of mating. Cambridge University Press Thomas F.
