Funded Activity Summary

Causes and consequences of multiple mating: Benefits of polyandry, sperm competition, and reproductive costs. The project will yield results that are at the forefront of research in evolutionary biology and that will have a significant international impact thereby placing Australia at the forefront of the international scientific arena. The undertaking of the project will foster strong linkages between Australian and European researchers that will lead to international collaborations that will promote excellence in Australian research. Identifying sperm quality or male viability is a crucial issue for livestock production. A greater understanding of the mechanisms of sperm competition and the benefits of multiple mating can also benefit conservation biology since these issues are being applied to undertake strategic plans for endangered species.
