Variation in Male Reproductive Investment and Male Reproductive Success in White Spruce [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1986
An experimental population composed of ramets of white spruce clones was studied to determine the influence of different levels of clonal male reproductive investment on clonal male reproductive success, where the male reproductive success of different clones in the population was defined as the proportion of the seed crop sired by each clone.

Nutraceutical in male reproduction

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2018
In order to obtain a successful outcome in artificial insemination programs, a few precautions must be taken with regard to male breeders. It is established that environmental factors can change the hormonal secretion, the cell differentiation that occurs in the testicles, as well as sperm maturation and transport in the epididymis.  In view of adverse
