“…In the case of the Leopard tortoise, values for total sperm motility indicate there is a large amount of variability ranging from 10% to 80%, which may indicate adaptation of sperm motility when there is sperm competition occurring (Gist et al, 2000;Zimmerman and Mitchell, 2017) that could also be related to semen collection success or technique. Sperm motility and kinematic variables have been reported in other reptiles, including corn snakes (Fahrig et al, 2007), lizards (Aranha et al, 2008;Blengini et al, 2014;López Juri et al, 2018), green iguanas (Zimmerman et al, 2013), turtles (Gist et al, 2000), black and white tegu lizards (Tupinambis merianae) (Young et al, 2017) but the number of frames per second used in some of these previous studies were few (30 fps); (Gist et al, 2000).…”
