Copulation Song in Drosophila: Do Females Sing to Change Male Ejaculate Allocation and Incite Postcopulatory Mate Choice?

P Kerwin, AC von Philipsborn - BioEssays, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Drosophila males sing a courtship song to achieve copulations with females. Females were
recently found to sing a distinct song during copulation, which depends on male seminal …
