Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila, where females mate multiply, sperm competition contributes strongly to fitness variability among males. Males transfer "Acp" seminal proteins to females during mating, and these proteins influence the outcome of sperm competition. Because Acps function within the female, male proteins can directly interact with female molecules in a manner that affects reproductive fitness. Here we begin to dissect...
