Meta-analysis shows no consistent evidence for senescence in ejaculate traits across animals
Abstract Male reproductive traits such as ejaculate size and quality, are expected to decline with advancing age due to senescence. It is however unclear whether this expectation is upheld across taxa. We perform a meta-analysis on 379 studies, to quantify the effects of advancing male age on ejacul...
