Effect of competitive cues on reproductive morphology and behavioral plasticity in male fruitflies [PDF]
, 2015 Phenotypic plasticity will be favored whenever there are significant fitness benefits of responding to environmental variation. The extent and nature of the plasticity that evolves depends on the rate of environmental fluctuations and the capacity to ...

Co-evolution of male and female reproductive traits across the Bruchidae (Coleoptera) [PDF]
, 2008 1. Despite the obvious importance of spermatozoa to individual reproductive success a general explanation of variation in spermatozoan form and function is still lacking. In species with internal fertilization, sperm not only have to interact with the

Our experience in sperm morphology assessment [PDF]
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2010 We read with great interest the article recently published by Menkeveld et al.1 as we have a double interest in sperm morphology assessment. The first one as a Clinical Andrology Laboratory (Laboratory of Male Fertility, Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina) attempting to give ...

Serum lipid profiles are associated with semen quality
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2017 We aimed to explore the associations between different lipid profiles and semen quality in a large-scale general male population. Sperm concentration, total sperm motility, progressive motility, and normal sperm morphology of total 7601 participants were

Sperm morphology, swimming velocity, and longevity in the house sparrow Passer domesticus [PDF]
, 2018 Sperm competition exerts strong selection on males to produce spermatozoa with an optimal morphology that maximizes their fertilization success. Long sperm were first suggested to be favored because they should swim faster.
