Many important fitness traits including longevity, reproductive success, parasite resistance, territory-holding ability, song complexity and even attractiveness often correlate with heterozygosity in natural populations. Where documented, such heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) have the clear potential to influence interactions between pathogens and their hosts and the evolution of mate c ...

Towards an evolutionary ecology of spermatogenesis (SPERM EVOLUTION)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

"The essentials of sperm function differ little from one species to another, and yet there is tremendous diversity among species in the type and number of sperm a male produces.

Specifically, I aim to identify selective forces acting on sperm, spermatogenesis and the testis, and adopt a mult ...
