Biological Features of the Avian Male Gamete and their Application to Biotechnology of Conservation

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Male gamete biology shows specific features in birds that contribute to the reproductive strategy of flying animals adapted to highly variable environmental conditions. In this paper, we review the main characteristics of bird sperm, their selection and storage in the highly specialized female oviduct, specific features of polyspermic fertilization, and the consequences of these biological adaptations on semen bio...
