• Bumblebees as model organisms to study male sexual selection in social insects (2003, background): “Sperm length is also highly variable in non-social insects and vertebrates (Ward and Hauschteck Jungen 1993; Ward 1998; Morrow and Gage 2001a, 2001b) although the adaptive significance of this variation is poorly understood in these species as well.”
• Sperm length, sperm storage and mating system characteristics in bumblebees (2003, background): “Intraspecific sperm length variation has been studied less widely, but has been reported for field crickets (Morrow and Gage, 2001a), dung flies (Ward and Hauschteck Jungen, 1993), salmon (Gage et al., 1998), zebra finches (Birkhead and Fletcher, 1995), several species of mammals and humans ( Morrow”
• Sperm quantity and quality effects on fertilization success in a highly promiscuous passerine, the tree swallow Tachycineta bicolor (2010, background): “It is well documented that spermatozoa vary considerably in size both within (Ward 1998; Morrow and Gage 2001; Laskemoen et al. 2007) and among (Gage 1998; Calhim et al.”
