Evolution and adaptations of the seminal proteome in an insect with traumatic insemination

The paper characterizes the sperm and seminal fluid proteome of bedbugs, revealing evolutionary adaptations linked to traumatic insemination and identifying expanded S-Laps with potential catalytic activity.

Novel female reproductive organ differentiates postmating transcriptional response to insemination versus arrival of sperm in bedbugs

The paper investigates postmating transcriptional responses in bedbugs, showing the mesospermalege processes ejaculate and expresses male seminal fluid genes, while the lower tract delays its response until sperm arrives.

Testing for age- and sex- specific mitonuclear epistasis in Drosophila

The paper tests age- and sex-specific mitonuclear epistasis in Drosophila by analyzing fertility traits across mitonuclear populations, finding limited evidence of negative fitness effects in males with age.

Proteomic characterisation of Japanese quails unique seminal foam

This paper identifies 224 proteins in Japanese quail seminal foam using proteomics, revealing roles in sperm function, immune protection, and fertilization success.
