Inter and intraspecific variation in female remating propensity in the cactophilic sibling species Drosophila buzzatii and D. koepferae
(Elsevier, 2013-05)
Post-mating sexual selection by means of sperm competition or cryptic female choice occurs in species in which females remate before exhausting sperm supplied by previous mates. Thus, sperm competition is expected to be ...
Reproductive anatomy and receptivity of the female Cyrtograpsus angulatus (Brachyura: Varunidae): Implications for the mating system
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2020-04)
The study of the functional anatomy of the female reproductive organs of Brachyura is often used in the classification and establishment of phylogenetic relationships. Besides, it allows us to draw inferences about the ...
Paradoxical Sleep Deprivation Influences Sexual Behavior in Female Rats

Pollination triggers female gametophyte development in immature Nicotiana tabacum flowers
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2015-07-22)
In Nicotiana tabacum, female gametophytes are not fully developed at anthesis, but flower buds pollinated 12 h before anthesis produce mature embryo sacs. We investigated several pollination-associated parameters in N. ...
