Short description: Presence of males, females, and hermaphrodites in a population

Trioecy, tridioecy or subdioecy, is a sexual system characterized by the coexistence of males, females, and hermaphrodites. It has been found in both plants and animals.[1][2] Trioecy, androdioecy and gynodioecy may be described as mixed mating systems.[3]

Evolution of trioecy

Trioecy may be an unstable transient state[4] associated with evolutionary transitioning from gynodioecy to dioecy.[5][4] In brachiopod species, trioecy usually breaks into androdioecy or gynodioecy.[6] Other studies show that trioecious populations originated from gonochoristic ancestors which were invaded by a mutant selfing hermaphrodite, creating a trioecious population.[1] It has been suggested that chromosomal duplication plays an important part in the evolution of trioecy.[7]

But one study found that trioecy can be stable under nucleocytoplasmic sex determination.[8] Another theoretical analysis indicates that trioecy could be evolutionary stable in plant species if a large amount of pollinators vary geographically.[9]

Occurrence

Trioecy is a relatively common sexual system in plants,[10] estimated to occur in about 3.6% of flowering plant species,[8] although most reports of trioecy could be misinterpretations of gynodioecy.[11] It is rare as well as poorly understood in animals.[10]

Species that exhibit trioecy

The following species have been observed to exhibit a trioecious breeding system.
