This project aims to test the causes, consequences and mechanisms of female reproductive fluids in modulating fertilisation bias in a model vertebrate species, the zebrafish. Female reproductive fluids (the fluid surrounding eggs) may moderate sperm selection by females, thus facilitating mate choice at the gamete level. This project will study interactions involving sperm and female reproductive fluid in an evolutionary framework. The intended outcome is increased knowledge of these processes, and better understanding of how non-gamete factors affect fertility, which could benefit fields as diverse as human fertility and aquaculture.

该项目旨在测试女性生殖液在调节脊椎动物物种（斑马鱼）中的施肥偏差时的原因，后果和机制。女性生殖液（周围卵的流体）可能会选择女性的精子选择，从而促进配子水平的伴侣选择。该项目将研究在进化框架中涉及精子和女性生殖液的相互作用。预期的结果是对这些过程的知识增加，以及对非类型因素如何影响生育的了解，这可能使像人类生育能力和水产养殖一样多样化。
