Abstract: When it comes to describe reproduction in internally fertilized species, understanding the dynamics of sperm storage is crucial to unravel the complexity of post-copulatory sexual selection processes. This physiological process goes from sperm transfer to… read more here.

Abstract: The swimming sperm of many external fertilizing marine organisms face complex fluid flows during their search for egg cells. Aided by chemotaxis, relatively weak flows are known to enhance sperm-egg fertilization rates through hydrodynamic guidance.… read more here.
