Sperm Gatekeeping: 3D Imaging Reveals a Constricted Entrance to Zebra Finch Sperm Storage Tubules
Females across many internally fertilizing taxa store sperm, often in specialized storage organs in their reproductive tracts. In birds, several hundred sperm storage tubules exist in the utero-vaginal junction of the oviduct, and there is growing evidence that sperm storage in these tubules is sele...
