Selection on Sperm Count, but Not on Sperm Morphology or Velocity, in a Wild Population of <i>Anolis</i> Lizards

Selection on Sperm Count, but Not on Sperm Morphology or Velocity, in a Wild Population of <i>Anolis</i> Lizards

Sperm competition is a widespread phenomenon that shapes male reproductive success. Ejaculates present many potential targets for postcopulatory selection (e.g., sperm morphology, count, and velocity), which are often highly correlated and potentially subject to complex multivariate selection.
