The evolution of sperm morphometry in pheasants [PDF]
, 2007 Postcopulatory sexual selection is thought to be a potent evolutionary force driving the diversification of sperm shape and function across species. In birds, insemination and fertilisation are separated in time and sperm storage increases the duration

Sperm competition and the evolution of sperm design in mammals [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 AbstractBackgroundThe influence of sperm competition upon sperm size has been a controversial issue during the last 20 years which remains unresolved for mammals. The hypothesis that, when ejaculates compete with rival males, an increase in sperm size would make sperm more competitive because it would increase sperm swimming speed, has generated ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 Because the total gene copy number remains constant and all genes are normally expressed, carriers of balanced chromosomal translocations usually have a normal phenotype but are able to produce many different types of gametes during meiosis, and ...

Investigative Genetics, 2014 Copenhagen is as flat as the proverbial pan-cake. A good way to appreciate this is to visit the Rundetaarn, a 35 m tower whose summit is reached by a spiral ramp designed in the 17th century to accommodate a horse and cart carrying books to its elevated library, and in more recent times inviting the competitive attention of puffing middle-aged blokes ...

Evolution of sperm size in nematodes: sperm competition favours larger sperm [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1999 In the free-living rhabditid nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, sperm size is a determinant of sperm competitiveness. Larger sperm crawl faster and physically displace smaller sperm to take fertilization priority, but not without a cost: larger sperm are produced at a slower rate. Here, we investigate the evolution of sperm size in the family Rhabditidae

Sperm death and dumping in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2004 Mating with more than one male is the norm for females of many species. In addition to generating competition between the ejaculates of different males, multiple mating may allow females to bias sperm use.

Romiplostim use in pregnant women with immune thrombocytopenia
American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 31-40, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Treatment for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in pregnancy is hampered by the lack of fetal safety evidence of maternally‐administered medications. The Pregnancy Surveillance Program (PSP) collected patient information from 2017–2020 for pregnancy, birth outcomes, and adverse events (AEs) for 186 women exposed to romiplostim from 20 days before ...
