Experimental evolution of sperm competitiveness in a mammal.

BMC evolutionary biology - 20 Jan 2011

Firman Renée C, Simmons Leigh W

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: When females mate with multiple partners, sperm from rival males compete to fertilize the ova. Studies of experimental evolution have proven the selective action of sperm competition on male reproductive traits. However, while reproductive traits may evolve in response to sperm competition, this does not necessarily provide evidence that sperm competitive ability responds to selection. Indeed, a study...
