  • Sperm length divergence as a potential pre-zygotic barrier in a passerine hybrid zone 
    Cramer, Emily Rebecca A; Grønstøl, Gaute; Maxwell, Logan; Kovach, Adrienne; Lifjeld, Jan Terje (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    The saltmarsh sparrow Ammospiza caudacuta and Nelson's sparrow A. nelsoni differ in ecological niche, mating behavior, and plumage, but they hybridize where their breeding distributions overlap. In this advanced hybrid ...
  • Sperm length variation among Afrotropical songbirds reflects phylogeny rather than adaptations to the tropical environment 
    Omotoriogun, Taiwo Crossby; Albrecht, Tomas; Gohli, Jostein; Horák, David; Johannessen, Lars Erik; Johnsen, Arild; Kreisinger, Jakub; Marki, Petter Zahl; Ottosson, Ulf; Rowe, Melissah; Sedlacek, Ondrej; Lifjeld, Jan Terje (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    Sperm cells vary tremendously in size and shape across the animal kingdom. In songbirds (Aves: Passeri), sperm have a characteristic helical form but vary considerably in size. Most of our knowledge about sperm morphology ...
  • Sperm morphology and function in passerine birds: insights from intra- and interspecific studies 
    Laskemoen, Terje (Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2010)
    Sperm cells are the most variable animal cells, and a tremendous variation in sperm phenotypes exists among species, from minute amoeboid sperm to giant sperm in some species of fruit flies. Much effort has been devoted ...
  • Sperm morphology and performance in relation to postmating prezygotic isolation in two recently diverged passerine species 
    Poignet, Manon; Baránková, Lucie; Reif, Jiri; Stopka, Pavel; Stopková, Romana; Frolikova, Michaela; Cramer, Becky; Johnsen, Arild; Kverek, Pavel; Osiejuk, Tomasz S.; Komrskova, Katerina; Albrecht, Tomas; Reifova, Radka (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)

    Cramer, Emily Rebecca A; Stensrud, Even; Marthinsen, Gunnhild; Hogner, Silje; Johannessen, Lars Erik; Laskemoen, Terje; Eybert, Marie-Christine; Slagsvold, Tore; Lifjeld, Jan Terje; Johnsen, Arild (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)
    Divergent sexual selection within allopatric populations may result in divergent sexual phenotypes, which can act as reproductive barriers between populations upon secondary contact. This hypothesis has been most tested ...
  • Sperm performance limits the reproduction of an invasive fish in novel salinities 
    Green, Leon; Niemax, Jan; Herrmann, Jens-Peter; Temming, Axel; Behrens, Jane W.; Havenhand, Jon; Leder, Erica Helen; Kvarnemo, Charlotta (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Aim The few fish species able to reproduce across wide osmotic ranges either plastically acclimate sperm performance to, or are locally adapted to, different salinities. The invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) ...

    Sperm morphology is highly diversified across the animal kingdom and recent comparative evidence from passerine birds suggests that postcopulatory sexual selection is a significant driver of sperm evolution. In the present ...
  • Spontaneous formation of prebiotic compartment colonies on Hadean Earth and pre-Noachian Mars 
    Köksal, Elif; Põldsalu, Inga; Friis, Henrik; Mojzsis, Stephen J; Bizzarro, Martin; Gözen, Irep (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Prominent among the models for protocells is the spherical biosurfactant shell, freely suspended in aqueous media. This model explains initial, but not subsequent events in the development process towards structured ...
