Sexual selection and sperm diversity in primates

摘要: Many aspects of primate sperm physiology and reproductive behavior have been influenced by sexual selection, especially in taxa exposed to competition where females mate with multiple partners. Primate diversity reflects therefore the evolutionary divergences different species impact a combination variables exerting selection pressures on form, function, competition. Thereby, mating systems, life cycle or ecological are some important factors driving explaining variation terms morphology, parameters male characters. Here, we address through compilation all data available literature concerning relationships between them. We also review that can influence (e.g. trade-off investments precopulatory postcopulatory traits, female behaviors, seasonality, social constraints, testosterone levels), discuss their relevance our understanding human reproduction.
