Sperm morphology and performance in relation to postmating prezygotic isolation in two recently diverged passerine species

Abstract Divergence in sperm phenotype and female reproductive environment may be a common source of postmating prezygotic (PMPZ) isolation between species. However, compared to other reproductive barriers it has received much less attention. In this study, we examined sperm morphology and velocity...
