Paternal environment effects are driven by female reproductive fluid but not sperm age in an external fertilizer

JH Hadlow, RA Lymbery, JP Evans - Biology Letters, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Sperm ageing after ejaculation can generate paternal environment effects that impact
offspring fitness. In many species, female reproductive fluids (FRFs), ie ancillary fluids …
