During ejaculation, the spermatozoa are transported by the seminal plasma, a fluid resulting
from secretions originating mainly from the prostate and the seminal vesicles in mammals …

Sperm production and allocation strategies have been a central concern of sperm
competition research for the past 50 years. But during the 'sexual cascade'there may be …

Simple Summary In this study, we found mating-induced sex-specific behavioral and
transcriptional changes, and the transcriptional variation is consistent with postmating …

Sexually dimorphic phenotypes arise largely from sex-specific gene expression, which has
mainly been characterized in sexually naïve adults. However, we expect sexual dimorphism …

The male ejaculate contains a multitude of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs), many of which are
key reproductive molecules, as well as sperm. However, the identification of SFPs is …

Male accessory gland proteins (ACPs), secreted by the male accessory glands, are
important components of seminal fluid proteins and play critical physiological roles in male …

Despite holding a central role in fertilization, reproductive traits often show elevated rates of
evolution and diversification. The rapid evolution of seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) within …

When females mate promiscuously, rival males compete to fertilise the ova. In theory, a male
can increase his success at siring offspring by inducing the female to lay more eggs, as well …

Male seminal fluid proteins often show signs of positive selection and divergent evolution,
believed to reflect male–female coevolution. Yet, our understanding of the predicted …

Efforts to unravel the genomic basis of incipient speciation are hampered by a mismatch
between our toolkit and our understanding of the ecology and genetics of adaptation. While …
