Sperm Competition Selects for Sperm Quantity and Quality in the Australian Maluridae

25 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

When ejaculates from rival males compete for fertilization, there is strong selection for sperm traits that enhance fertilization success. Sperm quantity is one such trait, and numerous studies have demonstrated a positive association between sperm competition and both testes size and the number of sperm available for copulations. Sperm competition is also thought to favor increases in sperm quality and changes...
