Sex peptide receptor is not required for refractoriness to remating or induction of egg laying in <i>Aedes aegypti</i>

2023-06-30

Abstract excerpt

Across diverse insect taxa, the behavior and physiology of females dramatically changes after mating – processes largely triggered by the transfer of seminal proteins from their mates. In the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster , the seminal protein sex peptide (SP) decreases the likelihood of female flies remating and causes additional behavioral and physiological changes that promote fertility including increas...
