Sperm competition promotes diversity of sperm bundles in Ohomopterus ground beetles.

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 Jul 2007

Takami Yasuoki, Sota Teiji

Abstract excerpt

Diversification of sperm morphology has been investigated in the context of sperm competition, but the adaptive significance of sperm bundles is still unclear. In analyzing 10 taxa of the genus Carabus subgenus Ohomopterus and one related Carabus ground beetles, we found that dimorphic sperm bundles occurred in most species with varied degrees of bimodality, whereas sperm were generally monomorphic. Comparative...
