Pronounced within-individual plasticity in sperm morphometry across social environments.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2010

Abstract excerpt

Sperm morphometry (i.e., size and shape) and function are important determinants of male reproductive success and are thought to be under stabilizing selection. However, recent studies suggest that sperm morphometry can be a phenotypically plastic trait, which can be adjusted to varying conditions. We tested whether different behavioral strategies in aggression between aggressive red and nonaggressive black males...
