Mating behavior and the evolution of sperm design
…, W Yoshida, DB Vizoso - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Sperm are the most diverse of all animal cell types, and much of the diversity in sperm
design is thought to reflect adaptations to the highly variable conditions under which sperm …

Phenotypic plasticity in sperm production rate: there's more to it than testis size
L Schärer, DB Vizoso - Evolutionary Ecology, 2007 - Springer
Evolutionary theory predicts that males should produce more sperm when sperm
competition is high. Because sperm production rate is difficult to measure in most organisms, …
