Exceptional long-term sperm storage by a female vertebrate.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2021

Levine Brenna A, Schuett Gordon W, Booth Warren

Abstract excerpt

Females of many vertebrate species have the capacity to store sperm within their reproductive tracts for prolonged periods of time. Termed long-term sperm storage, this phenomenon has many important physiological, ecological, and evolutionary implications, particularly to the study of mating systems, including male reproductive success and post-copulatory sexual selection. Reptiles appear particularly predisposed...
