Divergence in gametic traits can play a key role reproductive isolation. Lifjeld et al. (2024) examined the evolution of sperm length pairs songbird populations at various stages along speciation continuum. Their analyses demonstrated that diverges more rapidly species with higher levels female promiscuity, likely due to stabilizing selection favoring cells fit within storage structures. This divergence may kickstart promiscuous songbirds.
