FIGURE 8 in Bundles of Sperm: Structural Diversity in Scorpion Sperm Packages Illuminates Evolution of Insemination in an Ancient Lineage

Description

FIGURE 8. Transmission electron micrographs of spermatozoa from sperm packages of the bothriurid, Bothriurus bonariensis (C.L. Koch, 1842), sectioned at different points along an axis (A–D), and of sperm packages of four species of Bothriuridae Simon, 1880 sectioned in the middle (E–H). A. Head, middle piece, and flagella of different sperm packages. B. Nuclei of heads from different spermatozoa. C. Middle piece of different spermatozoa with paired mitochondria. D. Flagella of different spermatozoa. E. Bothriurus bonariensis. F. Timogenes elegans (Mello-Leitão, 1931). G. Brachistosternus ferrugineus (Thorell, 1876). H, I. Urophonius brachycentrus (Thorell, 1876). Inset in E–H illustrates details of axoneme. Abbreviations: axo, axoneme; f, flagellum; h, head; mit, mitochondria; mp, middle piece; n, nucleus. Scale bars: 0.5 µm (A–D); 2.5 µm (E–H).
