Sperm competition and sperm length in shorebirds [PDF]
, 1999 We investigated how sperm morphology varies across 16 species of shorebirds in the Scolopacidae, Charadriidae, and Jacanidae. Sperm were significantly longer in nonmonogamous than in socially monogamous species.

Post-Meiotic Intra-Testicular Sperm Senescence in a Wild Vertebrate [PDF]
, 2012 There is growing interest in sperm senescence, both in its underlying mechanisms and evolutionary consequences, because it can impact the evolution of numerous life history traits. Previous studies have documented various types of sperm senescence, but

Rheotaxis facilitates upstream navigation of mammalian sperm cells [PDF]
, 2014 A major puzzle in biology is how mammalian sperm maintain the correct swimming direction during various phases of the sexual reproduction process. Whilst chemotaxis may dominate near the ovum, it is unclear which cues guide spermatozoa on their long ...
