In many species, ovarian fluid (OF) which surrounds the ova, mediates sperm velocity and fertilisation outcomes according to male and female identity. In this paper we explore the role of OF proteome variation in this process. 1/5 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/H…

Three days to apply post doc position to study cryptic female choice in humans at University of Eastern Finland👇

Could cryptic female choice act also within individual males and facilitate fertilization bias towards particular sperm haplotypes? See my recent review Journal of Evolutionary Biology doi.org/10.1111/jeb.14… #Evolution #SexualSelection #Fertilization #HaploidSelection #Infertility University of Eastern Finland

REVIEW: Jukka Kekäläinen University of Eastern Finland argues that cryptic female choice can also act within each male and in non-polyandrous mating systems #sexualselection #matechoice #fertilization #openaccess ow.ly/2TOZ50Kwxc4

.@JokiniemiA shows that cryptic female choice operates also in humans, and also that it is associated with immune #genes.More different the combination was in their HLA genes, better was sperm performance.
