Sperm size evolution in Drosophila: inter- and intraspecific analysis.

Genetica - 1 Mar 2004

Joly Dominique, Korol Abraham, Nevo Eviatar

Abstract excerpt

Numerous reports were devoted to the variation of sperm length in relation to sperm competition amongst species. However, studies on intraspecific variations of sperm size are very scarce and the number of sperm measured, very limited. This paper investigates within-individual, between-individual and between-population variation of sperm length in the two cosmopolitan species, D. simulans and D. melanogaster....
