Given genomic variation data from multiple individuals, computing the likelihood of complex
population genetic models is often infeasible. To circumvent this problem, we introduce a …

BACKGROUND Precise regulation of oogenesis is crucial to female reproduction. Seventy
percent of pests belong to lepidopteran species, so it would be interesting to explore the …

Dipteran females have many opportunities to influence the reproductive success of their
mates. After each mating, females may influence their mates' post-copulatory reproductive …

The reproductive division of labour in social insects is a fascinating phenomenon regulated
by diverse chemical signals that vary substantially in structure. Is this diversity an example of …

Males and females possess different strategies regarding reproduction, leading to different
fitness optima and sexual conflict. The relative optima for each sex is likely adapted to a …

Sexual selection continues after copulation when the ejaculates from different males
compete to achieve fertilization. Post-copulatory sexual selection is therefore a powerful …
