The young sperm gambit

2000-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Thermodynamic and oxidative damage to the condensed nuclear DNA of spermatozoa may result in age‐related deterioration that results in zygote death. By definition, any such spermatozoan‐age effects are direct (i.e. nonheritable) and, if they occur, females may be selected to avoid such costs. This paper examines the potential of spermatozoan‐age effects to provide alternative explanations for several reproductive...
