Abstract

Copulation was induced in pairs of Aplysia fasciata by adding to the environment a homogenate of the distal portion of the large hermaphroditic duct. Similar effects were not observed in response to an abdominal ganglion homogenate. The data suggest that the duct may secrete a pheromone initiating copulation in Aplysia.
