Sperm competition and the evolution of seminal fluid composition.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2014

Dhole Sumit, Servedio Maria R

Abstract excerpt

Male ejaculates include large amounts of seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) that influence male sperm competitive success. In spite of their diverse proximate functions, Sfps involved in sperm competition increase male fitness in one of three ways: (1) "avoidance" proteins help males avoid sperm competition, (2) "defense" proteins help males defend their sperm from displacement by the female's subsequent mate, and (3)...
