Sperm motility parameters and spermatozoa morphometric characterization in marine species: a study of swimmer and sessile species
S [EN] The biodiversity of marine ecosystems is diverse and a high number of species coexist side by side. However, despite the fact that most of these species share a common fertilization strategy, a high variability in terms of the size, shape, and motion of spermatozoa can be found. In this study...
