Sperm Recovery and Evaluation in Domestic Species: Challenges and Current Practices. [PDF]

Reprod Domest Anim
ABSTRACT Semen collection is a key step in the development of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) in domestic mammals, as the collection method determines the functionality and fertility of the sperm. The artificial vagina or manual collection yields ejaculates similar to those obtained during natural mating, although they require prior training ...

A Coordinated U.S. Biobank Alliance for the Zoological and Conservation Community

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Coordinated biobanking across institutions (squares) makes biobank access more efficient and robust for research and conservation (human figure). ABSTRACT With dramatic advancements in biological data generation, genetic rescue and reproductive technologies, and inter‐institutional coordination of care across entire animal populations, zoos, aquariums,

Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma Dose and Application Strategy on Post-Thaw Spermatological Parameters in Goat Semen

Veterinary Sciences
This study investigated the effects of different PRP doses and application strategies on sperm quality in goats during cryopreservation. Semen samples were collected weekly from six Boer goats and treated with PRP either by means of pre-incubation or ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Tipping the Scales Using Cryopreservation: Modelling the Genetic Value and Management Potential of Integrated Cryopreservation for Threatened Ex‐Situ Pupfish Populations

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract depicts the number of additional fish that would be required to achieve 90% genetic diversity for endangered pupfish species housed in EAZA collections, with or without the use of cryopreserved material. ABSTRACT Zoos and aquaria must retain genetic diversity for the species they house if the populations are to remain viable ...

Improving ARTs: Microfluidics as a Tool for Sperm Selection

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sperm selection is a critical step in assisted reproductive technology (ART), as sperm quality directly influences embryo quality. In vivo, the female reproductive tract imposes several physical and physiological barriers that favors only the most optimal spermatozoa reaching the fertilization site.

Lactate‐Responsive Glycogen Dynamics Are Associated With Bull Sperm Motility and Fertilization Under Glucose‐Limited Conditions

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mammalian sperm need to undergo hyperactivation, capacitation, and acrosome reaction to achieve fertilization competence. However, the female reproductive tract presents contrasting metabolic environments. The uterus is glucose‐rich, and the oviduct is lactate‐rich and glucose‐limited.
