Cryptic female choice is often mediated chemically in external fertilizers by ovarian fluid (OF), which can change sperm swimming performance and bias paternity under sperm competition.

Using split‐ejaculate experimental designs and samples from lake trout, brown t...

Photographs were obtained of 136 capelin captured at two spawning sites and standardised measurements were taken of six morphological traits....
