Reproductive senescence: new perspectives in the wild
JF Lemaître, JM Gaillard - Biological Reviews, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
According to recent empirical studies, reproductive senescence, the decline in reproductive
success with increasing age, seems to be nearly ubiquitous in the wild. However, a clear …

Great tits growing old: selective disappearance and the partitioning of senescence to stages within the breeding cycle
S Bouwhuis, BC Sheldon… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Deterioration of reproductive traits with age is observed in an increasing number of species.
Although such deterioration is often attributed to reproductive senescence, a within …

The deteriorating soma and the indispensable germline: gamete senescence and offspring fitness
P Monaghan, NB Metcalfe - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The idea that there is an impenetrable barrier that separates the germline and soma has
shaped much thinking in evolutionary biology and in many other disciplines. However …

Post‐ejaculatory modifications to sperm (PEMS)
Mammalian sperm must spend a minimum period of time within a female reproductive tract
to achieve the capacity to fertilize oocytes. This phenomenon, termed sperm 'capacitation' …

Sperm of colourful males are better protected against oxidative stress
Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 213–222 Abstract Sperm cells are highly vulnerable to free
radicals, and sperm quality and male fertility are critically affected by oxidative stress …

Haploid selection within a single ejaculate increases offspring fitness
G Alavioon, C Hotzy, K Nakhro… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
An inescapable consequence of sex in eukaryotes is the evolution of a biphasic life cycle
with alternating diploid and haploid phases. The occurrence of selection during the haploid …

Paternal environment effects are driven by female reproductive fluid but not sperm age in an external fertilizer
Sperm ageing after ejaculation can generate paternal environment effects that impact
offspring fitness. In many species, female reproductive fluids (FRFs), ie ancillary fluids …

Are extra‐pair males different from cuckolded males? A case study and a meta‐analytic examination
Traditional models for female extra‐pair matings assume that females benefit indirectly from
extra‐pair mating behaviour. Under these so‐called adaptive models, extra‐pair males are …
