When biological material is transferred from one individual's body to another, as in ejaculate,
eggs, and milk, secondary donor-produced molecules are often transferred along with the …

Across internally fertilising species, males transfer ejaculate proteins that trigger wide-
ranging changes in female behaviour and physiology. Much theory has been developed to …

Ejaculate proteins are key mediators of post-mating sexual selection and sexual conflict, as
they can influence both male fertilization success and female reproductive physiology …

Interactions between spermatozoa and the female reproductive tract (FRT) are complex, in
many cases poorly understood, and likely to contribute to the mechanistic basis of idiopathic …

Successful completion of spermatogenesis is crucial for the perpetuation of the species. In
Drosophila, spermatid individualization, a process involving changes in mitochondrial …

While numerous theoretical population genetic models predict that mating assortatively by
genetic 'quality'will enhance the efficiency of purging of deleterious mutations and/or the …

Post-mating responses play a vital role in successful reproduction across diverse species. In
fruit flies, sex peptide binds to the sex peptide receptor, triggering a series of post-mating …

Successful bisexual reproduction requires interactions between males and females. Male‐
derived seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) transferred to females during mating profoundly affect …

Sexual reproduction requires the choreographed interaction of female cells and molecules
with sperm and seminal fluid. In internally fertilizing animals, these interactions are managed …

Mating and the transfer of seminal fluid components including male accessory glands
(MAGs) proteins can affect oviposition behavior in insects. After oviposition, some species of …
