For the majority of the year the animals reproduce parothengentically.
When a certain signal is recieved, thought to be crowding, some females
produce an egg which becomes male. While the male is maturing a female
is also maturing which is capable of producing a hapoloid egg. When
the two animals reach maturity they reproduce sexually and a diploid
resting egg is produced (Goldman and Horne 1983).
