Female genetic variation controlling timing of mating plug ejection in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

2026-07-01

Abstract excerpt

In multiply-mating species, male-female postcopulatory, prezygotic interactions can influence reproductive outcomes. In Drosophila melanogaster , females can bias sperm storage and usage and thereby influence paternity outcomes. One mechanism by which females may regulate paternity contributions from specific males is through modulation of mating plug ejection timing. The D. melanogaster mating plug is composed...
