Decoupled evolution of the Sex Peptide gene family and Sex Peptide Receptor in Drosophilidae

B. R. Hopkins, A. Angus-Henry, B. Y. Kim…·A. Kopp

The paper traces the evolutionary history of the Sex Peptide gene family and its receptor in 264 Drosophila species, finding divergent trajectories and weak coevolutionary signals.

BMP-signalling inhibition in Drosophila secondary cells remodels the seminal proteome, and self and rival ejaculate functions

B. R. Hopkins, I. Sepil, S. Bonham…·S. Wigby

This study shows that inhibiting BMP-signalling in Drosophila secondary cells alters seminal proteome composition and ejaculate function, revealing cross-talk between secretory cell types.

Ejaculate deterioration with male age, and its amelioration in Drosophila

I. Sepil, B. R. Hopkins, R. Dean…·S. Wigby

The paper shows ejaculate performance declines with male age in Drosophila due to sperm and seminal protein deterioration, but this decline can be ameliorated by targeting insulin-like peptide-producing cells.
