Phenotypic plasticity in genitalia: baculum shape responds to sperm competition risk in house mice.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 11 Jul 2018

André Gonçalo I, Firman Renée C, Simmons Leigh W

Abstract excerpt

Males are known to adjust their expenditure on testes growth and sperm production in response to sperm competition risk. Genital morphology can also contribute to competitive fertilization success but whether male genital morphology can respond plastically to the sperm competition environment has received little attention. Here, we exposed male house mice to two different sperm competition environments during...
