A receptor that mediates the post-mating switch in Drosophila reproductive behaviour
Mating in many species induces a dramatic switch in female reproductive behaviour. In most
insects, this switch is triggered by factors present in the male's seminal fluid. How these …

Sex-peptide is the molecular basis of the sperm effect in Drosophila melanogaster
H Liu, E Kubli - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
Mating elicits two major changes in the reproductive behavior of many insect females. The
egg-laying rate increases and the readiness to accept males (receptivity) is reduced. These …

Sex peptide causes mating costs in female Drosophila melanogaster
Conflicts between females and males over reproductive decisions are common [1]. In
Drosophila, as in many other organisms, there is often a conflict over how often to mate. The …

Seminal fluid protein allocation and male reproductive success
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 …

Endocrine cybernetics: neuropeptides as molecular switches in behavioural decisions
Plasticity in animal behaviour relies on the ability to integrate external and internal cues from
the changing environment and hence modulate activity in synaptic circuits of the brain. This …
