Thanks Barry,

I can't remember where I originally read it but I'm going to see if I
can get a reprint of the natural history article.

Cheers,
Chris

"Sex and the single brine shrimp". R. A. Browne, 1993. Natural History 
5:34-39.

I found this reference (cute title, huh?) in another paper, where it is 
stated that Browne makes a passing comment in the paper above and that 
the observation is rather suspect.
