Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) produced in reproductive tract tissues of male insects and
transferred to females during mating induce numerous physiological and behavioral …

Sexual reproduction requires coordinated contributions from both sexes to proceed
efficiently. However, the reproductive strategies that the sexes adopt often have the potential …

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 …

Innate behaviors are often executed in concert with accompanying physiological programs.
How this coordination is achieved is poorly understood. Mating behavior and the transfer of …

Chemicals released into the environment by food, predators and conspecifics play critical
roles in Drosophila reproduction. Females and males live in an environment full of smells …

Animal nuptial gifts display multitudinous forms, and such gifts are especially interesting
because they sit at the intersection of sexual selection, foraging ecology, and life-history …

The Drosophila seminal fluid protein (SFP) sex peptide (SP) elicits numerous post-mating
responses, including increased egg laying and decreased sexual receptivity, in the mated …

Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of the dengue and chikungunya viruses. After mating,
male seminal fluid molecules cause females to become unreceptive to a subsequent mating …

Seminal proteins from the Drosophila male accessory gland induce post-mating responses
(PMR) in females. The PMR comprise behavioral and physiological changes that include …
