The information is distilled from many sources that I am not able to
specifically list, but you will find much of it in the papers or writings of
Anita Collins, Sue Cobey, John Edwards, Ben Oldroyd, Kellie palmer and there
are a good many others that do not spring to mind imediately.

In general the appreciation of subset mixing of sperm packets has changed
progressively over the last few decades, from layered deposition through the
bag of rocks to the bag of marbles, then further to the sack of peas and now
the sack of gravel... Maybe we will get to the sack of sand or even total
homogenising as more work is done.
