Sperm competition risk generates phenotypic plasticity in ovum fertilizability.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Dec 2013

Firman Renée C, Simmons Leigh W

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that sperm competition will generate sexual conflict that favours increased ovum defences against polyspermy. A recent study on house mice has shown that ovum resistance to fertilization coevolves in response to increased sperm fertilizing capacity. However, the capacity for the female gamete to adjust its fertilizability as a strategic response to sperm competition risk has never, to our...
