Funded Activity Summary

More than meets the egg: environmental effects on sperm quality, sperm competitive success, and offspring fitness. Can a male's environment affect his sperm quality and the health of his offspring? By experimentally testing how the paternal environment affects sperm quality, this project will help us understand (1) why sperm vary so much, and (2) what consequences variability in sperm quality has for paternity success and offspring fitness.
