This study investigates how in-vivo sperm storage affects sperm quality, fertilization success, and offspring quality across humans and non-human animals, finding that storage duration and other factors influence these outcomes.

The paper shows ejaculate performance declines with male age in Drosophila due to sperm and seminal protein deterioration, but this decline can be ameliorated by targeting insulin-like peptide-producing cells.

The paper identifies seminal fluid proteins in Drosophila melanogaster using label-free quantitative proteomics, finding novel candidates and re-evaluating previously reported proteins.
