ABSTRACT The success of artificial insemination (AI) with frozen–thawed semen in cattle is influenced by both female factors and sperm quality. In terms of sperm quality, prior studies indicate that the ability of frozen–thawed bovine sperm to fertilise an oocyte is dependent on their quality and resilience to cryopreservation. Cryopreservation induces

Cryptic Diversity of Mediterranean Neogoniolithon (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta)
ABSTRACT Neogoniolithon is a widespread genus of non‐geniculate coralline algae in the Mediterranean Sea. Three vaguely differentiated species have been reported in the region. This study examined the diversity of Neogoniolithon in the Mediterranean by inferring phylogenies using psbA and COI‐5P markers, applying delimitation algorithms and comparing ...
