Aedes aegypti are vectors for several arboviruses infecting hundreds of millions of people
annually. Controlling mosquito populations by regulating their reproduction is a potential …

Genes involved in spermatogenesis tend to evolve rapidly, but we lack a clear
understanding of how protein sequences and patterns of gene expression evolve across this …

The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, transmits several viruses causative of serious
diseases, including dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. Some proposed efforts to control this …

Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) mediate an array of postmating reproductive processes that
influence fertilization and fertility. As such, it is widely held that SFPs may contribute to …

Sperm deliver the male complement of DNA to the ovum, and thus play a key role in sexual
reproduction. Accordingly, spermatogenesis has outstanding significance in fields as …

Male Lepidoptera produce two distinct sperm types; each ejaculate contains both eupyrene
sperm, which can fertilize the egg, and apyrene sperm, which are not fertilization competent …

Sperm are among the most variable cells in nature. Some of this variation results from
nonadaptive errors in spermatogenesis, but many species consistently produce multiple …

Mature sperm from Culex pipiens were isolated and analyzed by mass spectrometry to
generate a mature sperm proteome dataset. In this study, we highlight subsets of proteins …

Reproductive traits often evolve rapidly between species. Understanding the causes and
consequences of this rapid divergence requires characterization of female and male …

In many animals, sperm competition and sexual conflict are thought to drive the rapid
evolution of male-specific genes, especially those expressed in the testes. A potential …
