Sperm Selection for ICSI: Do We Have a Winner? [PDF]
Cells, 2021 In assisted reproductive technology (ART), the aim of sperm cells’ preparation is to select competent spermatozoa with the highest fertilization potential and in this context, the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) represents the most applied ...

Selection for longer lived sperm within ejaculate reduces reproductive ageing in offspring [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2019 Males produce numerous sperm in a single ejaculate that greatly outnumber their potential egg targets. Recent studies found that phenotypic and genotypic variation among sperm in a single ejaculate of a male affects the fitness and performance of the ...

Intramale variation in sperm size: functional significance in a polygynous mammal [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Studies concerning the relationships between sperm size and velocity at the intraspecific level are quite limited and often yielded contradictory results across the animal kingdom.

Automated Single-Sperm Selection Software (SiD) during ICSI: A Prospective Sibling Oocyte Evaluation [PDF]
Medical SciencesThe computer-assisted program SiD was developed to assess and select sperm in real time based on motility characteristics. To date, there are limited studies examining the correlation between AI-assisted sperm selection and ICSI outcomes. To address this

Cells, 2021 Sperm competition is a widespread phenomenon that shapes male reproductive success. Ejaculates present many potential targets for postcopulatory selection (e.g., sperm morphology, count, and velocity), which are often highly correlated and potentially ...

Can Sexual Selection Drive the Evolution of Sperm Cell Structure?
Cells, 2021 Sperm cells have undergone an extraordinarily divergent evolution among metazoan animals. Parker recognized that because female animals frequently mate with more than one male, sexual selection would continue after mating and impose strong selection on ...

Postcopulatory sexual selection is associated with reduced variation in sperm morphology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The evolutionary role of postcopulatory sexual selection in shaping male reproductive traits, including sperm morphology, is well documented in several taxa.
