Pre- and post-copulatory traits working in concert: sexual dichromatism in passerines is associated with sperm morphology (2020)
Journal Article

Passerine birds produce costly traits under intense sexual selection, including elaborate sexually dichromatic plumage and sperm morphologies, to compete for fertilizations. Plumage and sperm traits vary markedly among species, but it is unknown if t...
