Breeding system, shell size and age at sexual maturity affect sperm length in stylommatophoran gastropods

BACKGROUND: Sperm size and quality are key factors for fertilization success. There is increasing empirical evidence demonstrating that sperm form and function are influenced by selective pressures. Theoretical models predict that sperm competition could favour the evolution of longer sperm. In herm...
