Species in the subfamily Leptodactylinae exhibit a great diversity of reproductive modes and adopt different reproductive strategies, including polyandrous matings. The analysis of the gonad and sperm morphology in a phylogenetic context is crucial to understand the evolution of this alternative reproductive strategy in anurans. Here, we describe the sperm morphology and ultraestructure of 11 Leptodactylus species and that of Lithodytes lineatus and investigated the relationship between gonad and sperm morphology in polyandrous and non polyandrous Leptodactylus species using phylogenetic comparative methods. Our analysis revealed that the sperm ultraestructure of the leptodactylines was very similar to that of other anurans. The main differ...
