Assessment of reproductive traits in male gemsbok (Oryx gazella) (Bovidae, Hippotraginae)
Original language description
Little is known about the reproductive biology of the Oryx genus, which includes threatened or even extinct species. In this study, we provided several indices of spermatogenesis as well as epididymal sperm parameters of an adult male gemsbok. Furthermore, we provided the morphometrics of the seminiferous tubules and spermatozoa, with a total of sixteen morphological traits described. It is remarkable that a large percentage of sperm cells showed normal morphology as well as a small variation in sperm size, similar to the values found in other polygynous ungulates. Overall, the spermatogenesis and the morphometry of the seminiferous tubules of the gemsbok are similar to those of other ungulates. The data reported in this work are described for the first time in this species, and can be used as a reference for zoo and wildlife researchers and practitioners.
