Genetic evidence that ovulation reduces sexual receptivity in Drosophila melanogaster females.

Behavior genetics - 1 Nov 1995

Fuyama Y

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila females start ovulation shortly after mating, and at the same time they become unreceptive to courting males. Both physiological changes are induced by the "sex-peptide" derived from the male accessory glands. It is conceivable, therefore, that the first effect of the peptide is to induce ovulation, and some signal derived from ovulated eggs makes females unreceptive. To test this hypothesis, I...
