Abstract
The results reported here demonstrate that, inTigriopus fulvus: 1) males discriminate among females belonging to different developmental stages; 2) males paired with copepodid females react to the presence of other males, making pairing more stable. It also appears that, inTisbe holothuriae, both males and females release a compound which promotes the attraction of specimens belonging to the opposite sex. The significance of the differences in mating behaviour betweenTigriopus andTisbe are discussed.
