Sperm Sensory Signaling [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2017
Fertilization is exceptionally complex and, depending on the species, happens in entirely different environments. External fertilizers in aquatic habitats, like marine invertebrates or fish, release their gametes into the seawater or freshwater, whereas sperm from most internal fertilizers like mammals cross the female genital tract to make their way ...

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
