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 …

In species with internal fertilization, sperm, and seminal fluid are transferred from male to
female during mating. While both sperm and seminal fluid contain various types of …

During the early stages of local adaptation and speciation, genetic differences tend to
accumulate at certain regions of the genome leading to the formation of genomic islands of …

Genes involved in reproduction often evolve rapidly at the sequence level due to
postcopulatory sexual selection (PCSS) driven by male–male competition and male–female …

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

When females mate with more than one male, competition between rival ejaculates is
expected to favor adaptations that promote fertilization success. There is now compelling …

Sperm competition is a crucial aspect of male reproductive success in many species,
including Drosophila melanogaster, and seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) can influence sperm …

Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) are key factors in sexual reproduction and are transferred to
females during mating with sperm. SFPs have a nutritional value because they protect and …

Studies of allele-specific expression in interspecific hybrids have provided important insights
into gene-regulatory divergence and hybrid incompatibilities. Many such investigations in …

Seminal fluid protein (Sfp) genes show, in general, a higher rate of sequence divergence
than genes from other categories, which is often attributed to forms of postcopulatory sexual …
