Postcopulatory Sexual Selection Is Associated with Reduced Variation in Sperm Morphology
BACKGROUND: The evolutionary role of postcopulatory sexual selection in shaping male reproductive traits, including sperm morphology, is well documented in several taxa. However, previous studies have focused almost exclusively on the influence of sperm competition on variation among species. In thi...
