Experimental evolution of sperm competitiveness in a mammal
BACKGROUND: When females mate with multiple partners, sperm from rival males compete to fertilise the ova. Studies of experimental evolution have proven the selective action of sperm competition on male reproductive traits. However, while reproductive traits may evolve in response to sperm competiti...
