Copulation behaviour of Glossina pallidipes (Diptera: Muscidae) outside and inside the female, with a discussion of genitalic evolution
(Bulletin of Entomological Research (2007) 97, 1–18, 2007-04-26)
If species-specific male genitalia are courtship devices under sexual selection by cryptic female choice, then species-specific aspects of the morphology and behaviour of male genitalia should often function to stimulate ...
Females of a gift-giving spider do not trade sex for food gifts: a consequence of male deception?
(Biomed Central, 2017-05)
Polyandry is commonly maintained by direct benefits in gift-giving species, so females may remate as an adaptive foraging strategy. However, the assumption of a direct benefit fades in mating systems where male gift-giving ...
Male age and strain affect ejaculate quality in the Mexican fruit fly
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-04)
Aging in all organisms is inevitable. Male age can have profound effects on mating success and female reproduction, yet relatively little is known on the effects of male age on different components of the ejaculate. ...
Sexually dimorphic traits and male fertility in a paper wasp
(Oxford Univ Press, 2020-07-01)
Females of many social Hymenoptera commit their reproductive potential to a single male; they mate once and never re-mate. Sexual selection theory predicts that under this regimen female precopulatory mate choice is crucial. ...
Suppression subtractive hybridization analysis reveals expression of conserved and novel genes in male accessory glands of the ant Leptothorax gredleri
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2010)
Background: During mating, insect males eject accessory gland proteins (Acps) into the female genital tract. These substances are known to affect female post-mating behavior and physiology. In addition, they may harm the ...

Multiple paternity and sperm competition in the sibling species Drosophila buzzatii and Drosophila koepferae
(Wiley, 2013-10)
Sperm competition (SC) is a major component of sexual selection that enhances intraand intersexual conflicts and may trigger rapid adaptive evolution of sexual characters. The actual role of SC on rapid evolution, however, ...
From storage to delivery: Sperm volume and number of spermatozoa inside storage organs and ejaculates in males of Timogenes elegans (Scorpiones: Bothriuridae)
(American Arachnological Society, 2018-08)
Sperm competition influences the evolution of many reproductive traits such as gonads, sperm or genitalia. Many sperm competition analyses concentrate in testes and ejaculates. Among arachnids, scorpions constitute an ...
