Temporal dynamics of competitive fertilization in social groups of red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) shed new light on avian sperm competition by Carleial, R, McDonald, G, Spurgin, L, Fairfield, E, Wang, Y, Richardson, D, Pizzari, T

“…Conversely, older males, and those mating with more polyandrous females, had consistently lower fertilisation success. Similarly, resistance to a male&#x2019;s mating attempts, particularly by younger females, reduced fertilisation probability. …”

Debate: Are We Limiting the Potential of Oocytes by Not Using ICSI for All? - ICSI for Some by Robert NORMAN

“…The first randomised control trial of ICSI versus standard IVF fertilisation for unexplained infertility occurred more than twenty years ago and showed a lower ongoing pregnancy rate for those who received the ICSI form of fertilisation. …”

INFLUENCE OF BIOFERTILISERS ON THE VEGETATIVE GROWTH, MINERAL CONTENT AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF PEPPER (Capsicum annuum L.) CULTIVATED UNDER ORGANIC AGRICULTURE CONDITIONS by Veselka Vlahowa, Vladislav Popov, Hriska Boteva, Zlatko Zlatev, Dimitar Cholakov

“…The results showed that biofertilisers do not significantly impact the P content of the pepper leaves and stems, but changes were more obvious in the leaves. The fertilisation with the studied biofertilisers increased the K2O content in leaves and stems compared to the control (non-fertilised) plants; the values were higher for the leaves. …”

Animal Female Meiosis: The Challenges of Eliminating Centrosomes by Oliver J. Gruss

“…Sexual reproduction requires the generation of gametes, which are highly specialised for fertilisation. Female reproductive cells, oocytes, grow up to large sizes when they accumulate energy stocks and store proteins as well as mRNAs to enable rapid cell divisions after fertilisation. …”

Protein factors of capacitation and decapacitation in canine seminal plasma by Ts. Tsvetkov, D. Daskalova

“…The detailed study of the seminal plasma proteome would add fundamental information about the processes associated with physiological changes occurring in spermatozoa before fertilisation. The study of the canine seminal plasma proteome could add relevant information about its effects on the fertilising ability of the male gametes and the changes occurring in them before fertilisation.…”
