Selection on male and female reproductive traits in a simultaneous hermaphrodite land snail [PDF]
Classical sexual selection theory assumes that the reproductive success of females is limited by the resources available for egg production, while the reproductive success of males is determined by the number of mates (Bateman’s principle).

Morphometry of Boar Spermatozoa in Semen Stored at 17 °C—The Influence of the Staining Technique
The aim of the study was to assess the morphometry of sperm during storage of liquid boar semen at 17 °C. An attempt was also made to evaluate the suitability of three staining methods for assessment of boar sperm morphometry.

Effect of sample size and staining methods on stallion sperm morphometry by the Sperm Class Analyzer
Computer-assisted sperm morphometry analysis has improved the assessment of sperm morphology, but the results depend on the use of adequate evaluation and staining procedures of spermatozoa from individual species. In this study, the morphological module

Morphometric and kinematic sperm subpopulations in split ejaculates of normozoospermic men
This study was designed to analyze the sperm kinematic and morphometric subpopulations in the different fractions of the ejaculate in normozoospermic men. Ejaculates from eight normozoospermic men were collected by masturbation in three fractions after 3-
