It is found that heat shock, which is known to decrease CI expression, increases sperm production to a greater extent in infected compared to uninfected males, suggesting a possible link between sperm production and heat shock.

It is found that male fertility and attractiveness were especially susceptible to inbreeding depression and levels of testicular oxidative stress were significantly elevated in inbred males, although sperm viability did not differ between inbred and outbred males.

It is found that two size classes of sperm are produced and transferred to females in approximately equal numbers by the male; only long sperm persist in significant numbers in female sperm storage organs, falsifying those hypotheses in which all sperm types are assumed to be functionally equivalent (fertilize eggs).

There are striking parallels in the role of prezygotic competition for sexual selection on males, cryptic female choice, sexual conflict, and against selfish genetic elements and genetic incompatibility in sexually reproducing animals and flowering plants.
