Onset and Duration of Fertility in Turkeys
TL;DR: The observations to be reported in the present paper were made in the course of studies preliminary to investigations of the relations of various modifications of sperm environment to the fertilizing capacity of the sperm.
Sperm design and variation in the New World
TL;DR: Given the diversity of, and strong selection on, sperm design, it seems likely that sperm phenotype may influence sperm velocity within species, but in contrast to other recent studies of passerine birds, but consistent with several other studies, it is found no significant link between sperm design and velocity.

Changes in Turkey Semen Lipids During Liquid In Vitro Storage
TL;DR: Changes in phospholipid content of spermatozoa decreased during storage, while no quantitative decrease was observed in seminal plasma, and these changes are likely to affect semen quality and the success of in vitro storage severely.

Sperm design and variation in the New World blackbirds (Icteridae)
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study using New World blackbirds (Icteridae) was conducted to investigate whether sperm design was influenced by the level of post-copulatory sexual selection (PCSS).

A Method of Obtaining Spermatozoa from the Domestic Fowl
W. H. Burrows,J. P. Quinn +1 more
TL;DR: The method presented in this paper consists of a manual elicitation of an ejaculatory response which is undoubtedly reflex in nature and can be obtained in a short period of time.

Selective Fertilization in Fowls
TL;DR: An attempt was made to find out whether there was any selective preference in the union of sperm and egg cells in poultry, and it was found that self-fertilization was more effective or easier to make than cross fertilization.

The Influence of Certain Feeds Upon the Production of Spermatozoa by the Domestic Chicken
TL;DR: Experimental studies pertaining to the factors which may influence fertility in poultry have been limited to hatchability thus far, and for obvious reasons such studies have been confined to the female.

A study of the spermatozoon of the fowl, with particular reference to osmiophilic bodies in the sperm head
F. B. Adamstone,L. E. Card +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to learn something of the nature of the bead‐like bodies which occur in the head of the sperm of the fowl since it was found in a previous study that they are apparently affected in a characteristic manner by vitamin E deficiency.
