Extensive variation in sperm morphology in a frog with no sperm competition
BACKGROUND: Recent comparative studies of several taxa have found that within-species variation in sperm size decreases with increasing levels of sperm competition, suggesting that male-male gamete competition selects for an optimal sperm phenotype. Previous studies of intraspecific sperm length var...
