Ejaculate-female coevolution in Drosophila mojavensis.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jul 2003

Pitnick Scott, Miller Gary T, Schneider Karin, Markow Therese A

Abstract excerpt

Interspecific studies indicate that sperm morphology and other ejaculatory traits diverge more rapidly than other types of character in Drosophila and other taxa. This pattern has largely been attributed to postcopulatory sexual selection involving interaction between the sexes. Such divergence has been suggested to lead rapidly to reproductive isolation among populations and thus to be an 'engine of speciation.'...
