Female factors are important for the seminal Sex Peptide's association with sperm in mated female D. melanogaster.

S. Misra, A. Singh, M. F. Wolfner

This study shows female Drosophila melanogaster contribute to the binding of the seminal Sex Peptide to sperm, beyond male-derived factors.

Differences in post-mating transcriptional responses between conspecific and heterospecific matings in Drosophila

Y. H. Ahmed-Braimah, M. F. Wolfner, A. G. Clark

The paper examines post-mating transcriptome responses in Drosophila females mated with conspecific and heterospecific males, finding that heterospecific mating induces stress and immune-related gene expression.

The Drosophila seminal Sex Peptide can associate with rival as well as own sperm and provide function for SP in polyandrous females

S. Misra, M. F. Wolfner

The paper shows that the Drosophila Sex Peptide can bind to sperm from a prior mate and enhance fertility and sperm utilization of that sperm.

Ejaculate deterioration with male age, and its amelioration in Drosophila

I. Sepil, B. R. Hopkins, R. Dean, E. Bath, S. Friedman, B. Swanson, H. J. Ostridge, N. A. Buehner, M. F. Wolfner, R. Konietzny, M.-L. Thezenas, E. Sandham, P. D. Charles, R. Fischer, J. Steinhauer, , 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.
