Postcopulatory sexual selection (PCSS), comprised of sperm competition and cryptic female
choice, has emerged as a widespread evolutionary force among polyandrous animals …

Proteins in the seminal fluid of animals with internal fertilization effect numerous responses
in mated females that impact both male and female fertility. Among these proteins is the …

The honeybee Apis mellifera has major ecological and economic importance. We analyze
patterns of genetic variation at 8.3 million SNPs, identified by sequencing 140 honeybee …

Postcopulatory sexual selection can select for sperm allocation strategies in males [1, 2], but
males should also strategically allocate nonsperm components of the ejaculate [3, 4], such …

Across diverse taxa, seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) transferred at mating affect the
reproductive success of both sexes. Such reproductive proteins often evolve under positive …

Successful reproduction requires contributions from both the male and the female. In
Drosophila, contributions from the male include accessory gland proteins (Acps) that are …

Successful reproduction is critical to pass genes to the next generation. Seminal proteins
contribute to important reproductive processes that lead to fertilization in species ranging …

How females store and use sperm after remating can generate postcopulatory sexual
selection on male ejaculate traits. Variation in ejaculate performance traits generally is …

As genomic sequences become easier to acquire, shotgun proteomics will play an
increasingly important role in genome annotation. With proteomics, researchers can confirm …

A primary goal of population genetics is to determine the genetic basis of natural trait
variation. We could significantly advance this goal by developing comprehensive genome …
