Abstract excerpt
Sperm quality, an important male fitness trait, is commonly compared between studies. However, few studies consider how genetic and environmental variation affect sperm quality, even in the genetic model Drosophila melanogaster. Here we show that sperm viability, the proportion of live sperm, differed across the genotypes Oregon-R, Dahomey, and Canton-S by more than 15%, and across buffers (phosphate-buffered...
