Unlocking the "Black box": internal female genitalia in Sepsidae (Diptera) evolve fast and are species-specific
BACKGROUND: The species-specificity of male genitalia has been well documented in many insect groups and sexual selection has been proposed as the evolutionary force driving the often rapid, morphological divergence. The internal female genitalia, in sharp contrast, remain poorly studied. Here, we p...
