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 introduction of semen or sperm into the genital tract of a female. The pairwise union of individuals for the purpose of sexual reproduction, ultimately resulting in the formation of zygotes. 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. Any process that contributes to the success of sperm fertilization in multiply-mated females. The reproductive process by which coagulated semen becomes liquid following ejaculation, allowing the progressive release of motile spermatozoa. The act of sexual union between male and female, involving the transfer of sperm. The expulsion of seminal fluid, thick white fluid containing spermatozoa, from the male genital tract. The deposition of a plug of sperm or other gelatinous material into the opening of the vulva by a male at the termination of copulation. Probably acts to prevent subsequent matings by other males. 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.
