Sperm morphology, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration and swimming velocity: unexpected relationships in a passerine bird.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 31 Aug 2016

Bennison Clair, Hemmings Nicola, Brookes Lola, Slate Jon, Birkhead Tim

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between sperm energetics and sperm function is poorly known, but is central to our understanding of the evolution of sperm traits. The aim of this study was to examine how sperm morphology and ATP content affect sperm swimming velocity in the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata We exploited the high inter-male variation in this species and created extra experimental power by increasing the number of...
