Sperm competition: linking form to function

Sperm competition: linking form to function

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Using information from physics, biomechanics and evolutionary biology, we explore the implications of physical constraints on sperm performance, and review empirical evidence for links between sperm length and sperm competition (wher...
