Sperm length ornamentation associates with survival and sterility after heatwaves among Drosophila species

Ana Márquez-Rosado, Liam R. Dougherty, Won-Yong Choi, R. Antonio Gómez, Christopher Mitchell, Scott Pitnick, Stuart Wigby

This study finds that longer sperm in Drosophila species correlates with higher heat survival but greater heat-induced sterility, linking sexual selection to climate resilience and infertility risks.

Chilling out or heating up? Thermal plasticity of seminal fluid proteins in Drosophila melanogaster

Claudia Londoño‐Nieto, Roberto García‐Roa, Stuart Wigby, Irem Sepil, Pau Carazo

This study investigates how temperature exposure affects seminal fluid protein production and transfer in Drosophila melanogaster under different sperm competition conditions.

The developmental environment mediates adult seminal proteome allocation in male Drosophila melanogaster

Rebecca von Hellfeld, Rebecca Konietzny, Philip D. Charles, Roman Fischer, Benedikt Mathias Kessler, Stuart Wigby, Irem Sepil, Juliano Morimoto

This study investigates how larval crowding affects seminal proteome allocation in Drosophila melanogaster males and females, finding that small males transfer more seminal proteins despite producing less overall.

Quantitative proteomics identification of seminal fluid proteins in male Drosophila melanogaster

Irem Sepil, Ben R. Hopkins, Rebecca Dean, Marie‐Laëtitia Thézénas, Philip D. Charles, Rebecca Konietzny, Román Fischer, Benedikt Mathias Kessler, Stuart Wigby

The paper identifies seminal fluid proteins in Drosophila melanogaster using label-free quantitative proteomics, finding novel candidates and re-evaluating previously reported proteins.
