Characterization of Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Sperm Based on Morphometric Traits
Biology, 2021 Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) males follow many reproductive strategies to ensure their paternity. However, little is known about the sperm traits, including morphometric features, that contribute to their reproductive success.

Psychological and physiological adaptations to sperm competition in humans [PDF]
, 2005 Postcopulatory competition between males, in the form of sperm competition, is a widespread phenomenon in many animal species. The extent to which sperm competition has been an important selective pressure during human evolution remains controversial ...

Identification of honey bee sperm structures following the use of various staining techniques
Journal of Veterinary Research, 2023 Bees are currently artificially inseminated on a large scale for breeding and research purposes. The sperm of bees has a complex and varied structure, and determination of specific morphological defects in it is very difficult. Its comprehensive analysis

By Hook or by Crook? Morphometry, Competition and Cooperation in Rodent Sperm [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Sperm design varies enormously across species and sperm competition is thought to be a major factor influencing this variation. However, the functional significance of many sperm traits is still poorly understood. The sperm of most murid rodents are characterised by an apical hook of the sperm head that varies markedly in extent across species.

Sperm quality and morphometry characterization of cryopreserved canine sperm in ACP-106c or TRIS
Animal Reproduction, 2022 Morphological sperm evaluation supported by the morphometry can be used in the determination of the seminal quality and in the investigation of potential extenders. Although there are studies comparing TRIS and ACP extenders, there are no comparative studies between them for the computerized assisted semen analysis (CASA), sperm viability, membrane ...

Current status and potential of morphometric sperm analysis
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2016 The spermatozoon is the most diverse cell type known and this diversity is considered to reflect differences in sperm function. How the diversity in sperm morphology arose during speciation and what role the different specializations play in sperm ...

Automatic classification of the acrosome status of boar spermatozoa using digital image processing and LVQ [PDF]
, 2006 We consider images of boar spermatozoa obtained with an optical phase-contrast microscope. Our goal is to automatically classify single sperm cells as acrosome-intact (class 1) or acrosome-damaged (class 2).

The correlation between spermatozoa morphometry and the testosterone levels in the epididymis of aceh cow [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between spermatozoa morphometry and testosterone concentration in the epididymal caput, corpus, and cauda of aceh cattle. The epididymal sperm swab slides were stained using Williams's staining

Geometric morphometrics of rodent sperm head shape. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mammalian spermatozoa, particularly those of rodent species, are extremely complex cells and differ greatly in form and dimensions. Thus, characterization of sperm size and, particularly, sperm shape represents a major challenge. No consensus exists on a
