The study of the chemical and biological properties of CeO2 nanoparticles (CNPs) has
expanded recently due to its therapeutic potential, and the methods used to synthesize …

Successful reproduction requires the completion of many, often condition-dependent,
stages, from mate searching and courtship through to sperm transfer, fertilisation and …

Male mate choice is predicted in systems with high costs of mating, as for those with male
nuptial gifts and/or sexual cannibalism. We ask whether males of the nuptial gift-giving …

Research on sexual selection and hybridization has focused on female mate choice and
male–male competition. While the evolutionary outcomes of interspecific female preference …

In naturally polygamous organisms such as Drosophila, sperm competitive ability is one of
the most important components of male fitness and is expected to evolve in response to …

In facultatively parthenogenetic populations, the prevalence of sexual reproduction depends
on whether females mate and therefore produce sons and daughters or avoid mating and …

Alcohol can alter sexual behaviour. However, our understanding of alcohol's effects on
sexual interactions is limited because males are usually the focus of nonhuman studies …

While the phenomenon of male mate choice has attracted considerable attention in the last
two decades, whether this sexual selection mechanism could drive the evolution of female …

Highlights•Diet influenced Drosophila reproductive behaviour.•High-fat diet decreased
female attractiveness and changed male behaviour.•High-protein diet increased female …

Age at mating is one of the most important factors that affect mating success and
reproductive fitness in insects. The present study investigated how the age of the two sexes …
