Abstract: Size-advantage hypothesis models (SAH) allow an understanding of which sex occurs first and when the sex is changed in hermaphrodite species, through the optimal allocation of energy in terms of male versus female roles. Whereas sex allocation depends directly on how an organism allocates energy throughout its lifetime, the dynamic energy budget theory (DEB), describes the uptake and use of energy and nutrients, as well as the physiological organization throughout an organism’s life cycle, including growth, maintenance, reproduction, and aging.
