Influence of female reproductive anatomy on the outcome of sperm competition in Drosophila melanogaster.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Mar 2003

Bangham J, Chapman T, Smith H K, Partridge L

Abstract excerpt

Females as well as males can influence the outcome of sperm competition, and may do so through the anatomy of their reproductive tracts. Female Drosophila melanogaster store sperm in two morphologically distinct organs: a single seminal receptacle and, normally, two spermathecae. These organs have different temporal roles in sperm storage. To examine the association between sperm storage organ morphology and...
