Abstract
Nesting success tends to increase with age in birds, in part because older birds select more concealed nest sites based on experience and/or an assessment of prevailing predation risk. In general, greater plant diversity is associated with more biodiversity and more vegetation cover. Here, we ask if older Darwin's finch males nest in areas with greater vegetation cover and if these nest sites also have greater avian species diversity assessed using song. We compared patterns in Darwin's Small Tree Finch (Camarhynchus parvulus) and Darwin's Small Ground Finch (Geospiza fuliginosa) as males build the nest in both systems. We measured vegetation cover, nesting height, and con- vs. heterospecific songs per minute at 55 nests (22 C. parvulus, 33 G. fuliginosa). As expected, in both species, older males built nests in areas with more vegetation cover and these nests had less predation. A novel finding is that nests of older males also had more heterospecific singing neighbors. Future research could test whether older males outcompete younger males for access to preferred nest sites that are more concealed and sustain a greater local biodiversity. The findings also raise questions about the ontogenetic and fitness consequences of different acoustical experiences for developing nestlings inside the nest.

Abstract
As is reported, in species with first-male sperm precedence, male age and previous sexual experience play crucial roles in male mating behavior. In the hawthorn spider mite, Amphitetranychus viennensis Zacher, previous studies showed that only females that copulated for the first time could achieve fertilization. Based on this, the effects of male age and mating history on male mate choice and male mate competition were investigated. It was confirmed that males could distinguish virgins from fertilized females but they were unable to discriminate between virgins and unfertilized females. Interestingly, the copulation duration of males mated with fertilized females was much shorter than that of males mated with virgins or unfertilized females. Additionally, for male mating choice, males of all ages and more experienced males preferred 5-day-old virgin females, whereas only less experienced males preferred 1-day-old virgin females. In male-male competition, 3-day-old males were more competitive and obtained more copulations compared with others. Copula duration was closely related to male age. Though no significant differences were observed in mating competition between virgin and mated males, copula duration of males in first copulation was the longest and gradually shortened in subsequent copulations. In all, this investigation demonstrated that male age and sexual experience affected male mate choice and male-male competition, leading to further insight into the influences of male age and sexual experience on the reproductive fitness of both sexes.

Abstract
The effect of age on the sensitivity of zebrafish sperm against mercury exposure was investigated in the present study. Although results of the use of sperm from mature individuals for toxicity tests have been published, there is no information about the exact age of the fish in some cases, which can affect the results. During the experiments, pooled sperm was stripped from males of 7, 12, or 18 months of age, divided into 5 sub-groups, diluted with different concentrations of Hg (0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 mg/L Hg), and incubated for 240 min. The motility parameters of sperm (progressive motility (%), curvilinear velocity (VCL)) were measured by a computer-assisted sperm analysis system, at 30, 120, and 240 min of exposure. Regarding the age, significant differences were found in PMOT (p = 0.0267) as well as in VCL (p = 0.0004) among the three different age groups. The different concentrations of Hg also caused significant differences. The most significant differences in PMOT were between the 7- and 18-month-old groups; these differences were observed at 0.5, 1 and 2.5 mg/L Hg at 30 min, at 0.5 and 1 mg/L at 120 min, as well as at 0.5 mg/L at 240 min. In VCL the most significant differences were found between the 7- and 12-month-old groups; significant differences were found at each tested concentration at 30 min as well as at 0.5 and 2.5 mg/L at 240 min. According to the results, the age of zebrafish negatively influences the sensitivity of its sperm. This may concern not only toxicology tests but many techniques in fish breeding where the sperm is treated before use (cryopreservation, pressure shock, etc.).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if increasing paternal age has an adverse effect on pregnancy outcomes in paired donor egg recipients who received oocytes from the same donor in the same stimulation cycle. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Reproductive Medicine Center. PATIENT(S) The study included 154 recipients who received oocytes from a split donor oocyte cycle and received sperm from men in discrepant age groups (group A: <45 years old; group B: ≥45 years old). INTERVENTION(S) None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Implantation rate, pregnancy loss rate, pregnancy rate, and live birth rate. RESULT(S) The median paternal age was 41 years old for group A and 48 years old for group B. The pregnancy rate was 81% in group A compared with 69% in group B. The live birth rate was 65% in group A compared with 53% in group B. The rate of pregnancy loss was 19% in group A and 23% in group B. The implantation rate was 69% in group A compared with 66% in group B. The adjusted odds of pregnancy were found to be 65% lower for patients in the older partner age group (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13, 0.95). The adjusted odds of live birth rate (odds ratio [OR], 0.45; 95% CI, 0.20, 1.00), implantation rate (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.43, 1.92), and rate of pregnancy loss (OR, 1.5; 95% CI, 0.5, 4.5) favored the younger partner age group; however, these results were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION(S) In this model that controlled for oocyte quality to the greatest degree possible by using paired recipients from the same donor from the same stimulation cycle, we found that increased paternal age had a negative effect on pregnancy rates.

Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION What are the correlations between male age, traditional semen parameters, sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and high DNA stainability (HDS) in a sufficiently large sample size? DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of 18,441 semen samples, with data divided into seven age groups according to male age: ≤25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, 41-45, 46-50 and ≥51 years. RESULTS Age was negatively correlated with semen volume, total sperm count, motility and HDS, and positively correlated with sperm concentration and DFI (P < 0.001). After 35 years of age, semen volume and total sperm count began to decline. After 30 years of age, motility and HDS decreased consistently. Sperm concentration and DFI increased from 26-30 years of age. DFI was negatively correlated with sperm concentration, total sperm count, motility and normal morphology (P < 0.001) and positively correlated with semen volume and HDS (P < 0.001). HDS was negatively correlated with all parameters (P < 0.001) except semen volume (r = -0.013, P = 0.074) and DFI (r = 0.124, P < 0.001). Patients aged ≥40 years had higher DFI than those aged <40 years in the entire cohort, in the abnormal semen parameters cohort, and in the normal semen parameters cohort (OR 2.145, 2.042, 1.948, respectively, P < 0.001). The ≥40 years age group had a lower HDS than the <40 years age group in the entire cohort and abnormal semen parameters cohort (OR 0.719, 0.677, respectively, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Ageing is a negative effector of sperm quantity and quality, and routine sperm parameters have weak but significant correlations with sperm DNA/chromatin integrity.

Abstract
Many factors, including postponement of marriage, increased life expectancy, and improved success with assisted reproductive technologies have been contributing to increased paternal age in developed nations. This increased average paternal age has led to concerns about adverse effects of advanced paternal age on sperm quality, assisted reproductive outcomes, and the health of the offspring conceived by older fathers. This review discusses the association between advanced paternal age and sperm parameters, assisted reproduction success rates, and offspring health.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the consequences of an altered sperm fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) result for ART outcomes and the indications for a sperm FISH analysis. METHODS Data from 439 infertile men were collected. Bivariate analyses were performed to determine the association of men's age, seminal alterations, and sperm FISH indication, with the incidence of X, Y, 13, 18, and 21 sperm chromosomal abnormalities. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to establish the most predictive variables for altered sperm FISH. Results from the IVF/ICSI cycles were collected for 248 out of 439 patients. Two distinct groups were established: 151 couples that used their own oocytes and 97 couples involved in egg donation programs. In both groups, ART outcomes were compared between normal and altered sperm FISH. RESULTS Teratozoospermia and oligozoospermia were associated with sperm chromosome anomalies (p < 0.05). Indications for sperm FISH analysis with the highest predictability were teratozoospermia, male age, oligozoospermia, and implantation failure (AUC = 0.702). Embryo quality (p = 0.096), pregnancy rate (p = 0.054), and implantation rate (p = 0.089) were higher in own-oocytes couples with normal sperm FISH than in altered sperm FISH couples, although differences were not statistically significant. In donor-oocytes couples, in which high-quality embryos were transferred later than in own-oocytes couples (3.8 vs. 3.0 days), we did not identify differences in the ART outcome between normal and altered sperm FISH couples. In both groups, the possible interference of woman age was negligible. CONCLUSIONS Sperm FISH is indicated in middle-aged oligoteratozoospermic patients with implantation failures in previous IVF/ICSI cycles. Sperm chromosome anomalies have a moderate detrimental impact on embryo quality, implantation, and pregnancy rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effects of male age on sperm DNA damage. METHODS This cross-sectional study included semen samples collected from 2,178 men seen at an infertility clinic. For DNA integrity analysis, the proportions of spermatozoa showing DNA fragmentation (TUNEL assay), abnormal chromatin packaging/underprotamination (chromomycin A3), abnormal mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP/MitoTracker Green), and apoptosis (annexin V) were recorded. For group comparisons, enrolled subjects were divided into three groups based on their ages: ≤35 years; 36-44 years; and ≥45 years. The associations between age and sperm parameters were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. RESULTS Although aging did not affect sperm apoptosis (p>.05), sperm DNA fragmentation and MMP deteriorated significantly with age (p<.05). Chromatin packaging/protamination improved significantly with age (p<.05). CONCLUSION Sperm DNA fragmentation worsened with age and was apparently associated with mitochondrial damage. The age-related increase in sperm DNA damage suggests that delaying childbearing, not only in women but also in men, might jeopardize a couple's reproductive capacity. The increase seen in chromatin packaging might represent a protective feature for DNA. However, additional studies must be performed to confirm the results concerning chromatin packaging/protamination.

Abstract
Many studies exist on the impact of female age on fertility, success of assisted reproductive technologies and on obstetric, fetal and neonatal adverse outcomes. Late paternity seems commonplace especially in the media… But there are reliable scientific data which confirm decline of fertility related to male age but also an increased risk of genetic diseases for the offspring. The objective of this article is to make a synthesis of the literature on this subject.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to correlate male age with embryo morphokinetic parameters on D3 considering the timing and the exact moment of embryo cleavage. METHODS Time-lapse imaging was used to produce an ideal cleavage curve for the embryos analyzed. The percentage of embryos under the curve was analyzed and correlated with male age. RESULTS 32.6% of the embryos from patients aged 28-33 years were under the curve; 36.2% of the embryos from patients aged 34-39 years were under the curve; 41.3% of the embryos from patients aged 40-45 years were under the curve; and 26.3% of the embryos fro patients aged 46-57 years were under the curve. CONCLUSIONS a statistically non-significant decrease was observed in the percentage of embryos under the optimal cleavage curve on D3 in the group of men aged between 40 and 45 years. Further studies looking into embryos in the blastocyst stage (D5 or D6) are required.
