The physical displacement of sperm stored from previous mating encounters. The introduction of semen or sperm into the genital tract of a female. The process, occurring above the cellular level, that is pertinent to the reproductive function of a multicellular organism. This includes the integrated processes at the level of tissues and organs. The process by which the use of stored sperm from the first-mating male is inhibited by the seminal fluid of subsequently mating males. A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The retention of sperm by a female following mating. Any process that contributes to the success of sperm fertilization in multiply-mated females. The act of sexual union between male and female, involving the transfer of sperm. The biological process by which new individuals are produced by one or two multicellular organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents.
