Timeless or tainted? The effects of male ageing on seminal fluid

C Fricke, K Sanghvi, M Emery, I Lindenbaum… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2023‏ - frontiersin.org
Reproductive ageing can occur due to the deterioration of both the soma and germline. In
males, it has mostly been studied with respect to age-related changes in sperm. However …

Meta-analysis shows no consistent evidence for senescence in ejaculate traits across animals

K Sanghvi, R Vega-Trejo, S Nakagawa… - Nature …, 2024‏ - nature.com
Male reproductive traits such as ejaculate size and quality, are expected to decline with
advancing age due to senescence. It is however unclear whether this expectation is upheld …

Evidence for reproductive senescence across ray-finned fishes: a review

M Vrtílek, J Žák, M Reichard - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022‏ - frontiersin.org
The origin, incidence, and consequences of reproductive senescence vary greatly across
the tree of life. In vertebrates, research on reproductive senescence has been mainly …

Male allocation to ejaculation and mating effort imposes different life history trade-offs

MHJ Chung, RJ Fox, MD Jennions - PLoS Biology, 2024‏ - journals.plos.org
When males compete, sexual selection favors reproductive traits that increase their mating
or fertilization success (pre-and postcopulatory sexual selection). It is assumed that males …

Long‐term effects of widespread pharmaceutical pollution on trade‐offs between behavioural, life‐history and reproductive traits in fish

U Aich, G Polverino, F Yazdan Parast… - Journal of Animal …, 2024‏ - Wiley Online Library
In our rapidly changing world, understanding how species respond to shifting conditions is
of paramount importance. Pharmaceutical pollutants are widespread in aquatic ecosystems …

The hidden ageing costs of sperm competition

JF Lemaître, JM Gaillard, SA Ramm - Ecology Letters, 2020‏ - Wiley Online Library
Ageing and sexual selection are intimately linked. There is by now compelling evidence
from studies performed across diverse organisms that males allocating resources to mating …

Quantifying the costs of pre-and postcopulatory traits for males: Evidence that costs of ejaculation are minor relative to mating effort

MHJ Chung, MD Jennions, RJ Fox - Evolution Letters, 2021‏ - academic.oup.com
Although it is widely stated that both mating behavior and sperm traits are energetically
costly for males, we currently lack empirical estimates of the relative costs to males of pre …

Natural selection and the evolution of asynchronous aging

JA Moorad, S Ravindran - The American Naturalist, 2022‏ - journals.uchicago.edu
Understanding within-population variation in aging rates across different phenotypic traits is
a central focus of biogerontological studies. Early evolutionary models predict that natural …

Male age alone predicts paternity success under sperm competition when effects of age and past mating effort are experimentally separated

U Aich, ML Head, RJ Fox… - Proceedings of the …, 2021‏ - royalsocietypublishing.org
Older males often perform poorly under post-copulatory sexual selection. It is unclear,
however, whether reproductive senescence is because of male age itself or the …
