Adaptive plasticity of mammalian sperm production in response to social experience.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Feb 2009

Ramm Steven A, Stockley Paula

Abstract excerpt

Sperm competition theory predicts that males should invest prudently in ejaculates according to levels of female promiscuity. Males may therefore be sensitive to cues in their social environment associated with sexual competition, and tailor investment in sperm production accordingly. We tested t...
