Evolution of ejaculates: patterns of phenotypic and genotypic variation and condition dependence in sperm competition traits.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2002

Simmons Leigh W, Kotiaho Janne S

Abstract excerpt

Sperm competition is widely recognized as a potent force in evolution, influencing male behavior, morphology, and physiology. Recent game theory analyses have examined how sperm competition can influence the evolution of ejaculate expenditure by males and the morphology of sperm contained within...
