Experimental demonstration of possible cryptic female choice on male tsetse fly genitalia
(J. Insect Physiol. 2009 Nov; 55(11): 989-996, 2009)
A possible explanation for one of the most general trends in animal evolution – rapid divergent evolution
of animal genitalia – is that male genitalia are used as courtship devices that influence cryptic female
choice. ...
Female receptivity in Anastrepha ludens (Diptera: Tephritidae) is not modulated by male accessory gland products
(Elsevier, 2014-11)
In numerous insects, accessory gland products (AGPs) transferred from males to females during mating are responsible for female sexual inhibition, but these products can be affected by male condition. Here, we investigated ...
Female remating rate and pattern of sperm use suggest intense sperm competition in Drosophila antonietae (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
(Springer, 2019-08)
Sperm competition is conceived as a powerful selective force which acts on genes related to reproduction, promoting the evolution of reproductive adaptations and inter-population divergence that may ultimately lead to ...
Male accessory gland depletion in a tephritid fly affects female fecundity independently of sperm depletion
(Springer, 2020-05)
Production of female gametes is costly; however, there is now wide evidence across different taxa that male ejaculates are also limiting. Thus, multiply mated males may need to partition their ejaculate across successive ...
Methyl eugenol effects on Bactrocera dorsalis male total body protein, reproductive organs and ejaculate
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-10)
Methyl eugenol (ME) and inclusion of protein into the adult diet increase the mating competitiveness of the Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). Exposing males to ME or protein is a promising post-teneral ...
Female mediation of competitive fertilization success in Drosophila melanogaster
(National Academy Of Sciences, 2013-06)
How females store and use sperm after remating can generate postcopulatory sexual selection on male ejaculate traits. Variation in ejaculate performance traits generally is thought to be intrinsic to males but is likely ...
Hairy kisses: tactile cheliceral courtship affects female mating decisions in Leucauge mariana (Araneae, Tetragnathidae)
(2015)
Sexual selection is thought to be an important force driving the evolution of sexually dimorphic morphology and behavior, but direct experimental tests of the functions of species-specific details of morphology are rare ...
Experimental modifications imply a stimulatory function for male tsetse fly genitalia, supporting cryptic female choice theory
(THE AUTHORS. J. EVOL. BIOL. 22 (2009) 151 6-1525 JOURNAL COMPILATION, 2009)
One of the most sweeping of all patterns in morphological evolution is that animal genitalia tend to diverge more rapidly than do other structures. Abundant indirect evidence supports the cryptic female choice (CFC) ...
