Sperm competition was identified in 1970 as a pervasive selective force in post‐copulatory
sexual selection that occurs when the ejaculates of different males compete to fertilise a …

Multiple mating or group spawning leads to post‐copulatory sexual selection, which
generally favours ejaculates that are more competitive under sperm competition. In four …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Among vertebrates, fish show by far the greatest variability of alternative reproductive tactics
(ARTs). Usually, males attempting to monopolize access to females or fertilizations are …

The evolution and maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics and behavior are
heavily influenced by the variance in mating success among individuals in a population. The …

The Darwin–Bateman paradigm recognizes competition among males for access to multiple
mates as the main driver of sexual selection. Increasingly, however, females are also being …

The fact that sperm carry more than the paternal DNA has only been discovered just over a
decade ago. With this discovery, the idea that the paternal condition may have direct …

When a female is sexually promiscuous, the ejaculates of different males compete for the
fertilization of her eggs; the more sperm a male inseminates into a female, the more likely he …

This article reviews the use of hormonal treatments to enhance sperm production in
aquaculture fish and the methods available for evaluating sperm quality. The different types …

There is increasing evidence from non-human animals that males adjust their ejaculate
expenditure according to the risk of sperm competition. In this study we show that, after …
