Studies on the sperm reservoir of the pig oviduct [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
During sperm transport in the female pig a proportion of spermatozoa are arrested, often for 24 h or more, in a particular segment of the utero-tubal junction (UTJ) and the adjacent tubal isthmus, where a sperm reservoir (SR) is built up.

Sexual selection in a transparent worm : insights from fluorescent sperm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Sexual selection is a potent source of selection underlying the evolution of sexual dimorphism, reproductive strategies and mating systems. Although sexual selection was initially thought to occur exclusively at the pre-copulatory stage (e.g., contests ...
