One size doesn't fit all: female-male interactions on the path to fertilization.
Extensive research indicates that fertilization outcomes are shaped by individual female and male traits that reflect their intrinsic quality. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the influence of interactions between the sexes and their adaptive significance in either externally or internally fertilizing species. Here, we review empirical evidence on how female-male interactions influence each stage of the fertilization process, including sperm transfer, transport, storage, chemoattraction and fertilization. We also address the challenges of examining female-male interaction effects within a realistic biological context and why research in this area lags behind understanding the role of individual sex-specific traits. While relatively little data are currently available to address interactive effects between the sexes and their impact on the fertilization process, what is presently known suggests these effects are likely to be more common across the animal tree of life than appreciated. Future research will help to not only identify these interactions, but their understanding can also help to explain the maintenance of genetic variation and inform applied studies of fertility.
期刊介绍:
Reproduction is the official journal of the Society of Reproduction and Fertility (SRF). It was formed in 2001 when the Society merged its two journals, the Journal of Reproduction and Fertility and Reviews of Reproduction.
Reproduction publishes original research articles and topical reviews on the subject of reproductive and developmental biology, and reproductive medicine. The journal will consider publication of high-quality meta-analyses; these should be submitted to the research papers category. The journal considers studies in humans and all animal species, and will publish clinical studies if they advance our understanding of the underlying causes and/or mechanisms of disease.
Scientific excellence and broad interest to our readership are the most important criteria during the peer review process. The journal publishes articles that make a clear advance in the field, whether of mechanistic, descriptive or technical focus. Articles that substantiate new or controversial reports are welcomed if they are noteworthy and advance the field. Topics include, but are not limited to, reproductive immunology, reproductive toxicology, stem cells, environmental effects on reproductive potential and health (eg obesity), extracellular vesicles, fertility preservation and epigenetic effects on reproductive and developmental processes.
