Differential sperm storage by female zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 16 Aug 2017

Hemmings Nicola, Birkhead Tim

Abstract excerpt

When females mate promiscuously, female sperm storage provides scope to bias the fertilization success towards particular males via the non-random acceptance and utilization of sperm. The difficulties observing post-copulatory processes within the female reproductive tract mean that the mechanisms underlying cryptic female choice remain poorly understood. Here, we use zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata, selected...
