Intra-specific variation of sperm length in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae: males with shorter sperm have higher reproductive success

Maarten J Voordouw, Jacob C Koella, Hilary Hurd Malaria Journal 2008, 7:214 (21 October 2008)

The paper describes a quantitative genetics study intended to investigate the relationship between sperm size and reproductive success in the malaria vector. This type of analysis has not yet been done and could provide insights into the determinants of reproductive success in this important vector
