The morphological characteristics and modification of the oviducal glands adapted for long-term sperm storage and fertilization in Amphioctopus fangsiao

Sperm storage is an important reproductive strategy in Amphioctopus fangsiao. Sperm can be stored in the oviducal glands up to eight months before fertilization. However, studies on the underlying storage mechanisms remain limited. In this study, the morphological structures of the oviductal glands...
