Ongoing anthropogenic climate change has increased attention on the ecological and
evolutionary consequences of thermal variation. Most research in this field has focused on …

Rising global infertility rates have amplified the dependence on assisted reproductive
technologies (ARTs) for conception. This necessitates a thorough examination of fertility …

Marine heatwave (MHW) events, characterized by periods of anomalous temperatures, are
an increasingly prevalent threat to coastal marine ecosystems. Given the seasonal …

Background Cryopreservation induces transcriptomic and epigenetic modifications that
strongly impairs sperm quality and function, and thus decrease reproductive performance. N …

Simple Summary Boar semen of high quality is a key factor that influences the outcome of
artificial insemination. Furthermore, semen delivery practices could exert a negative effect …

Research question How do age and normo-or oligoasthenozoospermia affect telomere
length dynamics in spermatozoa and blood? Design Sperm and blood samples were …

Additive genetic variation for fitness at vulnerable life stages governs the adaptive potential
of populations facing stressful conditions under climate change, and can depend on current …

There has been an explosion of recent evidence that environments experienced by fathers
or their ejaculates can influence offspring phenotypes (paternal effects). However, little is …

The study aimed to assess the influence of cryostress on RNA integrity and functional
significance in sperm fertilizing ability. The fresh and post-thawed buffalo sperm (n= 6 each) …

Cryopreservation induces capacitation-like (cryo-capacitation) changes, similar to natural
capacitation, and affects the fertility potential of post-thawed sperm. The molecular …
