Sperm competition enhances functional capacity of mammalian spermatozoa

M Gomendio, J Martin-Coello… - Proceedings of the …, 2006 - National Acad Sciences
When females mate promiscuously, sperm from rival males compete within the female
reproductive tract to fertilize ova. Sperm competition is a powerful selective force that has
shaped sexual behavior, sperm production, and sperm morphology. However, nothing is
known about the influence of sperm competition on fertilization-related processes, because
it has been assumed that sperm competition only involves a race to reach the site of
fertilization. We compared four closely related rodent species with different levels of sperm …
