Spermathecal morphology and sperm dynamics in the female Schizocosa malitiosa (Araneae: Lycosidae)

Spermathecal morphology and sperm dynamics in the female Schizocosa malitiosa (Araneae: Lycosidae)

The linkage between spermathecal morphology and sperm dynamics was experimentally analysed in Schizocosa malitiosa (Tullgren, 1905) using histological serial sections and SEM. We recognised three connected sections for each spermatheca: basal atrium, stalk and head. The head ends blindly, is sclerot...
