Male reproductive fitness is dependent in part on the                      ability of a male to transfer sufficient sperm to the female to                 ensure ovum fertilization.  Thus, male copulatory behavior should               function to optimize sperm transfer to the female.  Dr. Tokarz                  will investigate the sensory determinants of optimal sperm                      delivery while using the lizard reproductive system as an                       experimental model.  The research to be performed addresses both                causal mechanisms and functional outcomes of male copulatory                    behavior.  Results from this research promise to increase our                   understanding of how sensory feedback influences the orientation                and duration of copulation.  It should also provide insight into                how copulatory behavior affects sperm delivery and thus male                    reproductive success.
