Sperm Tree Of Life Project

Researchers have been studying the tremendous diversity in sperm morphology for more than a century. Yet, the thousands of descriptions of sperm morphology that exist in the literature have yet to be systematically compiled in a single location...until now!

SpermTree is a community resource for sharing species-level data on sperm morphology across all animals.

The SpermTree database currently contains descriptions of sperm morphology from >4,700 species from 27 animal phyla. 

We are in the process of updating the SpermTree database to expand the taxonomic coverage.
