SICB Annual Meeting 2016 January 3-7, 2016 Oregon Convention Center – Portland, OR Symposium: The Morphological Diversity of Intromittent Organs The basic function of an intromittent organ seems deceptively simple – it mechanically introduces sperm into a female reproductive tract, thereby increasing a male’s probability of fertilization. But male copulatory structures seem to belie this […]
