Contrastingly, if gamete competition is almost absent, a similar model generates anisogamy through strong gamete limitation (where many ova remain unfused): producing many small gametes increases fusion probability [36,37]. Gamete limitation may increase ovum mass by increasing its target size for collision [38].
Drive to reduce proto-sperm size occurs because releasing more sperm increases a proto-male's share of proto-ova fertilized (primordial sperm competition).
