Reproductive tract modifications of the boar sperm surface [PDF]
Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2017 The sperm cell has a unique, polarized, and segregated surface that is modified extensively by the changing environments in both the male and the female reproductive tracts. The sperm cannot refresh its surface, as protein translation and membrane recycling by intracellular vesicular transport have ceased upon its maturation.

Bryo‐zoophily: a new look at the ecology of moss and animal interactions
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2275-2299, December 2025.ABSTRACT Interactions between plants and animals often play a major role in the ecology of both partners. While such interactions are well studied in vascular plants such as angiosperms and gymnosperms, they are less well understood in bryophytes. However, an extensive search of the scientific literature reveals several cases of known and suspected ...

Heparin binding analysis of boar sperm and its relation with farrowing capacity [PDF]
, 2013 New methods for the evaluation of semen quality according to in vivo reproductive data are useful tools for identifying boars of lower fertility among individuals with standard semen parameters. In this study, indirect fluorescence microscopy was used to

Cladistics, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 581-599, December 2025.Abstract Scherotheca is amongst the most diverse earthworm genera within Lumbricidae, exhibiting striking ecomorphological radiation—from small epigeic‐like forms to giant anecic species. Accurate systematics is critical for exploring such diversification.

The relationship between seminal plasma aspartate aminotransferase activity, sperm osmotic resistance test value, and semen quality in boars [PDF]
, 2013 The relationship between the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT) in seminal plasma and the values of the osmotic resistance test (ORT) of acrosomal membranes and semen traits was examined on 120 young hybrid Pietrain and Duroc boars.

DNA methylation patterns vary in boar sperm cells with different levels of DNA fragmentation
BMC Genomics, 2019 Sperm DNA integrity is considered essential for successful transmission of the paternal genome, fertilization and normal embryo development. DNA fragmentation index (DFI, %) has become a key parameter in the swine artificial insemination industry to ...

Effects of metabolic rate and sperm competition on the fatty-acid composition of mammalian sperm [PDF]
, 2016 The sperm membrane is a key structure affecting sperm function and thus reproductive success. Spermatozoa are highly specialized and differentiated cells that undergo a long series of processes in the male and female reproductive tracts until they reach ...
